Activated carbon is not unfamiliar to many friends. So, do you know about an activation furnace? Simply put, an activation furnace is a rotary drum structure that rotates the furnace body at a predetermined speed and is evenly heated. Wooden charcoal is heated to a higher temperature in the activation furnace, and then steam enters the furnace as the activation medium.
The working principle of an activation furnace is that the production process mainly uses pure wooden charcoal as raw material, without adding any chemicals.
Activator, mainly using its own carbon element, rotates and burns in the activation furnace with air (hydrogen) as the combustion aid to reach a temperature above 1000. Then, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen are used as the activation medium for activation to produce activated carbon. The production process is relatively simple, unlike chemical methods that mix carbon containing raw materials with certain chemicals and use chemicals as the activator for heat treatment, The physical activation furnace has no pollution problem during the production process
