See also:BRIQUETTE (diminutive of Fr. brique, See also:brick) , a See also:form of See also:fuel, known also as" patent fuel," consisting of small See also:coal compressed into solid blocks by the aid of some binding material. For making briquettes the small coal, if previously washed, is dried to reduce the moisture to at most 4% , and if necessary crushed in a disintegrator. It is then incorporated in a pug See also:- MILL
- MILL (O. Eng. mylen, later myln, or miln, adapted from the late Lat. molina, cf. Fr. moulin, from Lat. mola, a mill, molere, to grind; from the same root, mol, is derived " meal;" the word appears in other Teutonic languages, cf. Du. molen, Ger. muhle)

mill with from 8 to to% of See also:gas See also:pitch, and softened by See also:heating to between 70 and 9o° C. to a plastic See also:mass, which is moulded into blocks and compacted by a pressure of 1 to 2 tons per sq. in. in a See also:machine with a rotating See also:die-See also:plate somewhat like that used in making semi-plastic See also:clay bricks. When See also:cold, the briquettes, which usually weigh from 7 to 20 lb each, although smaller sizes are made for domestic use, become quite hard, and can be handled with less breakage than the See also:original coal. Their See also:principal use is as' fuel for marine and See also:locomotive boilers, the evaporative value being about the same as, or somewhat greater than, that of coal. The principal seat of the manufacture in See also:Great See also:Britain is in See also:South See also:Wales, where the dust and smalls resulting from the handling of the best See also:steam coals (which are very brittle) are obtainable in large quantities and find no other use. Some varieties of See also:lignite, when crushed and pressed at a steam See also:heat, soften sufficiently to furnish compact briquettes without requiring any cementing.rnatcrial. Briquettes of this See also:kind are made to a large extent from the See also:tertiary lignites in the vicinity of See also:Cologne; they are used mainly for See also:house fuel on the See also:lower See also:Rhine and in See also:- HOLLAND
