Development of Energy-Conserving and Ecologically Safe Processes for Production of Construction Materials and Fuel Pellets

Problems associated with the use of diatomaceous earth in the formulation and production of fuel pellets based on plant wastes are examined. A procedure for production of unfired silica gravel based on contaminated diatomaceous earth is described. Mixes are investigated for production of fuel pellet...

Description
Summary:Problems associated with the use of diatomaceous earth in the formulation and production of fuel pellets based on plant wastes are examined. A procedure for production of unfired silica gravel based on contaminated diatomaceous earth is described. Mixes are investigated for production of fuel pellets and their combustion kinetics. A rotary granulator with a flat die of improved design is recommended as principal equipment for production of the fuel pellets.
