MAKING OF BRIQUETTES
DEPARTMENT’S EXPERIMENTS USE FOR BY-PRODUCTS OF COAL. SEARCH FOR SUITABLE BINDERS. By Telegraph.— Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The acquisition of an experimental briquetting plant capable of producing fi"e to ten hundredweights of briquettes a day, was announced to-day by the Minister in charge of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the Hon. H. Atmore. The Minister said the plant was being obtained on the • recommendation of the fuel research committee for the purpose of trying various materials as binders for the briquetting of coal. The plant would be flexible and more suited for such experiments than would be a large commercial plant. As the cost of binder was an appreciable item in briquetting, the work was highly desirable from the point of view of briquetting carbonised residues and distillation and for raw slack.
