Process of making briquets has the following advantages over sintering:
- environment pollution is lower thanks to absence of high temperature processes involved;
- briquet making factories are cheaper in construction than sintering plants;
- production of low quantity batches of special purpose lumped raw material can be profitable.
These factors, as well as availability of high performance equipment for briquetting in the market, have led to considerable growth of briquets production in our country in the beginning of 21-st century.
