Insolubly bound particulate products

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A process employing a mixture of a binding agent and an aqueous solution of a wet-tack lubricant to manufacture an insoluble product from particulate material comprising admixing the particulate material with the mixture to obtain a free-water containing binding agent lubricant and particulate , admixture and then coalescing the admixture to manufacture the insoluble product .The product can be produced by a coalescing machine such as a briquetting machine. A disclosed wet-tack lubricant is polyethylene oxide. The particulate can be finely-divided and chemically-inert mineral metals, carboniferous and lignocelluloses materials and the binding agent is a biobased composition of a …
