Carbonization and activation process of activated carbon
Carbonization and activation are two essential links in the production and processing of activated carbon. Carbonization is a slow heating process, roughly divided into three stages: the first stage is the drying stage; the second stage is the beginning of pyrolysis stage; the third stage is the carbonization stage, in which polycondensation and decomposition reactions are the main ones. Activation methods are generally divided into three types, namely gas activation method, chemical drug activation method and chemical and physical activation method. At present, domestic and foreign manufacturers that produce activated carbon using anthracite, bituminous coal and lignite as raw materials generally use gas activation method. The traditional preparation process of coal-based activated carbon has the following shortcomings: first, the carbonization process and activation process in the traditional process are carried out in independent workshops, and the carbonization and activation time are long, the yield is low, and the overall manufacturing cost is high; second, , The transfer of the required raw materials requires a large amount of machinery or manpower, which is neither economical nor efficient; third, a separate boiler is required to provide the steam required for carbonization and activation; fourth, during the production process, due to...
