Ash briquettes
Abstract
Ash still has substantial energy left in it. Mixed with other
materials like clay and/or mud and water it can be used to create
more energy. This applicant is proposing the creation of ash
briquettes to be used just like coal.

Claims
1. Ash that is produced by burning of coal has substantial energy
left in it that can be further used to produce energy just like
coal.
2. Ash mixed with clay and/or mud and water and then dried can be
used to produce heat energy just like coal.
3. Ash briquettes will produce much less pollution.
4. Ash briquettes will solve the disposal problem of ash waste.
5. By producing ash briquettes the coal reserves will last much
longer.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] PROVISIONAL PATENT APPLICATION NO.: 60/696,633
FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH
[0002] NOT APPLICABLE
SEQUENCE LISTING OR PROGRAM
[0003] NOT APPLICABLE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] 1. Field of Invention
[0005] This invention provides a new use for ash that is created by
burning of coal by power generators and factories etc. This
applicant has discovered that ash still has substantial energy left
that can be used for cooking and other industrial uses.
[0006] 2. Background of the Invention
[0007] A huge amount of ash is produced by the burning of coal to
power electrical generators and other factories. Ash waste is a big
problem. Though some uses have been found to use up this ash no
suitable solution has been found to put this colossal amount of ash
to any substantial use. So far it is assumed that all the energy by
completely burning coal is extracted and ash is a useless by
product of no use to the energy industry. This applicant has found
that ash mixed with potter's clay mixed with water and dried can
again be burned for producing heat.
OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES
[0008] Some of the objects and advantages are as follows: [0009] 1.
The main aim is to extract as much energy as possible from a
product that is assumed to have no more energy left. [0010] 2. By
making ash briquettes the problem of what to do with ash waste will
be solved. [0011] 3. As ash still contains energy ash briquettes
will replace coal for bar-b-q and other cooking as well as
industrial uses thus enabling coal reserves to last longer. [0012]
4. As ash briquettes' heat is softer chefs will discover foods that
taste better when cooked with ash briquettes. [0013] 5. While coal
burns off most of the pollution causing gases are released thus
leaving ash with practically no pollution causing gasses to be
released further. Thus ash briquettes will be a much cleaner energy
source.
SUMMARY
[0014] In accordance with the present invention ash is mixed with
clay with the help of water. Said mixture is dried. It is shaped
like small briquettes and bricks. This product is used just like
coal.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] Ash that is produced by burning of coal is taken and mixed
with up to 25% clay. Three portions of ash are mixed with up to one
portion of clay. This mixture is produced by adding water. Said
mixture is poured into moulds shaped to produce briquettes and
bricks. Said mixture is then dried.
[0016] Where clay is not available sieved mud can also be used. The
main aim is to use up all the energy still left in the ash by using
other materials to form lumps just like coal.
