Patent ID: 11905482

Abstract:
Fuel briquettes based on carbon-containing materials, such as fuel briquettes for household use for heating of living and housekeeping spaces, glass-covered and film-covered greenhouses, especially in those geographic regions where no natural fuels like firewood, coal or turf are available. The fuel briquettes may also be used in chimney fireplaces, portable stoves, boilers, grills and braziers, for heating of railway carriages and accommodation cabins for labor and military personnel. A new binder, namely, Sosnowsky's hogweed, is used, providing environmental improvement and termination of weed infestation of fertile soils due to expansion of Sosnowsky's hogweed. The technical effects are attained by a fuel briquette containing a premix of ground carbon-containing filler and a biomass of ground plants of Sosnowsky's hogweed (e.g., entire plants including leaves, stems, roots and umbels) used as a binder. The briquette is compressed to remove liquid content and then dried.
