SPAIN FINDS FUELS
THAT REPLACE COAL
Rice Husks, Mixed With Tar Maker
disable 6riquette.

Shortage of coal in Spain has led
to the experiments with various sub
sttutes including the husks of rice
and inferior qualities OF Ignite. In
the provinces that raise rice, the
husks have lately been mixed with tar
and formed into briquettes under by.
draulic pressure.
In their natural form rice husks
make an expensive fuel burning with
little heat, bat the briquettes are said
TO ignite readily, give off little smoke
and can be used to some extent as a
substitute for coal
Another kind of fuel briquette, Civ
ing similar service, is made from
cheap qualities of Ignite. including
Ignite dust and waste formerly re.
garded as worthless, from which the
volatile matter is first expelled and
binding material then added to form
the briquette under pressure.
