How Long Does Carbonisation Take?

Carbonisation time is usually related to many factors. For example: the structural characteristics of the carbonisation furnace, the type of raw material to be carbonised, the carbonisation temperature, the carbonisation pressure and other factors. Usually the carbonisation time is: a few hours ~ a few days. If the wood is carbonised to complete charcoal processing. Using the traditional earth kiln carbonisation is slow. It takes several days to complete. If you use the mechanism of charcoal furnace, it will take 6~8 hours. If you use a continuous charcoal furnace, you can continuously feed and discharge the charcoal. It only takes about 20 minutes.

Carbonisation furnace is a device to convert organic materials into charcoal by pyrolysis at high temperature. Carbonisation time refers to the carbonisation process. The biomass raw material in the furnace body after high temperature, pyrolysis, gasification, condensation and other chemical reactions required time. Carbonisation time is determined by many factors and there are some differences.

Factors affecting the carbonisation time

Raw material type: for different types of raw materials with different material properties. Carbonation speed is also very different. Wooden materials need longer carbonisation time. Especially hardwood.

Equipment process: carbonisation furnace plays the most important role in carbonisation time. Compared with the traditional carbonisation method. Continuous carbonisation furnace will save a lot of carbonisation time. It adopts continuous feeding and discharging method. Secondly, the heating method and airflow control. Can also significantly improve the carbonisation efficiency. Thus the carbonisation time is shortened.

Carbonisation temperature: Higher temperature. It will accelerate the pyrolysis reaction of raw materials. This will shorten the carbonisation time to a certain extent. But too high a temperature will lead to a decline in the quality of activated carbon.

Furnace pressure: The pressure in the furnace has a great influence on the carbonisation efficiency and process. Carbonisation is usually carried out under positive and negative pressure atmosphere conditions. The atmosphere and temperature in the furnace can be regulated. So as to achieve the ideal carbonisation effect.
