ANALYSIS OF APPLICABILITY OF HEAVY OIL RESIDUES AS BINDER IN GRANULATED ACTIVE COALS PRODUCTION
Paper contains research results of alternative binders for the granulated active coals production. It is shown that the use as binders of single heavy oil residues does not allow to achieve the required level of coking at the same time with a sufficiently low viscosity, which will adversely affect the quality of the resulting active coals. At the same time when low viscosity products were mixed with components having a high coking it is possible to obtain a binder with optimal characteristics.
