Methodology of researching the process of obtaining composite fuel from coal processing waste

In solving the problem of developing coal preparation wastes in the production of composite fuels, such as coal sludge and braize, reliable knowledge about various physical and mechanical characteristics of waste is important [1-5], since they are the initial calculated values for equipment design [6-10]. To study the process of electrokinetic agglomeration and the choice of optimal parameters, a complex technique is required, including the determination of: physical, mechanical and chemical properties of the initial coal sludge, ways of influencing the production mode of compositions by bringing the state of the initial material to its required parameters (preparation and influence on physical and chemical properties).
