The wood chip carbonization and activation furnace can convert wood pellets into activated carbon that we are familiar with. Despite its simple appearance, the scientific principles and advantages behind it are as deep as the sea of stars. The ingenious design of this equipment combines the carbonization furnace and the activation furnace into one, which greatly shortens the time for preparing activated carbon. You imagine the time saved. Moreover, its comprehensive yield is higher than that of the traditional carbon-activation segmented process, which is simply a perfect combination of technology and art.
Before starting the journey of preparing activated carbon, we need to carefully prepare the wood chip raw materials. These raw materials need to be dried and pulverized to ensure that they are less than 2 cm in diameter and dry without impurities. You may ask, why is the raw material handled so delicately? In fact, the activation effect of small particles is better, because the smaller the particle size, the larger the specific surface area, and the stronger the adsorption effect.
Before starting this amazing furnace, we had to carefully check key components such as temperature sensors, smart controllers, and discharge pipes to ensure they were functioning properly. Once it is confirmed, we can start this amazing device. When the wood chips enter the furnace, it preheats at a lower temperature to evaporate the water. When the furnace temperature reaches a certain level, the dry distillation carbonization process begins, forming charcoal. Then, the activation process is carried out in a pressurized environment to create pores on the surface of the charcoal, and finally the activated carbon is formed.
This sawdust carbonization and activation integrated furnace is really an expert! It not only improves energy efficiency by reusing combustible gas, but also helps maintain the temperature of the activation furnace and ensures the quality of the activated carbon. Whether it is the carbonization and activation production of wood, coal, husks, bamboo chips and other raw materials, or the secondary high-temperature activation treatment of activated carbon, it can cope with it freely.
