Kraft paper (used in wrapping paper and cardboard), newspaper and used paper waste could be used to bind coal dust or other particulate combustible wastes together to make a strong
briquette, using processes similar to papermaking technology. Kraft paper especially is highly acceptable for briquetting because of its longer fibres and because of the diculty to repulp it. Paper mill waste, sun¯ower shell, sawdust and brewery waste have also been used as binder materials at dierent ratios [9]. Experiments on the briquette properties of paper-bonded coal fuel briquettes were reported [16].
