Claim 1

CARBONACEOUS BRIQUETTE CONSTITUTED OF CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL DERIVED FROM COAL AND A TAR BINDER, WHICH CARBONACEOUS BRIQUETTE IS (1) HOMOGENEOUS, (2) REACTS UNIFORMLY THROUGHOUT ITS MASS, (3) HAS A RESISTANCE TO CRUSHING IN POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH DETERMINED BY MEASURING THE GAUGE READING AT WHICH A 1 1/8 X 3/4 INCH CYLINDER CRUSHES UNDER HYDRAULIC PRESSURE APPLIED TO ITS FLAT SURFACE OF AT LEAST 3,000, (4) HAS A TUMBLER INDES VALUE OF FROM 90 TO 98, (5) HAS A VOLATILE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL CONTENT OF BELOW 3% BY WEIGHT ON AN ASH-FREE BASIS,(6) HAS A CARBON CONTENT, ON AN ASH AND MOISTURE-FREE BASIS OF AT LEAST 95% BY WEIGHT, (7) HAS A SURFACE AREA OF FROM 100 TO 500 SQUARE METERS PER GRAM, DETERMINED BY THE STANDARD BRUNAUER, EMMETT AND TELLER METHOD USING NITROGEN AS THE GAS ABSORBED, (8) HAS A CARBON TO HYDROGEN RATIO ON A WEIGHT BASIS OF ROM 8- TO 114, (9) HAS A REAL DENSITY OF FROM 1.70 TO 2.1 (10) HAS A HELIUM DENSITY OF FROM 2.3 TO 4 AND A RATIO OF HELIUM DENSITY TO REAL DENSITY WITHIN THE RANGE OF FROM 1.35 TO 2.35, (11) HAS A REACTIVITY WITH CARBON DIOXIDE OF AT LEAST ABOUT 10, MEASURED BY THE AMOUNT OF A SAMPLE OF THE BRIQUETTE SIZED TO PASS THROUGH A 20MESH BUT RETAINED ON A 28-MESH SCREEN, CONSUMED IN ONE HOUR IN A STREAM OF CARBON DIOXIDE AT A TEMPERATURE OF 900*C., PASSED OVER THE SAMPLE AT A RATE OF 400 ML. PER MINUTE IN A TUBE HAVING AN INSIDE DIAMETER OF ABOUT 1 INCH, AND (12) HAS AREACTIVITY WITH STEAM OF AT LEAST BOUT 20 MEASURED BY THE AMOUNT OF A SAMPLE OF THE BRIQUETTE SIZED TO PASS THROUGH A 20-MESH BUT RETAINED ON A 28-MESH SCREEN CONSUMED IN ONE HOUR IN A STREAM OF STEAM AT A TEMPERATURE OF 825*C. PASSED OVERT THE SAMPLE AT A RATE OF 133 ML. PER MINUTE IN A TUBE HAVING AN INSIDE DIAMETER OF ABOUT 1 INCH.
