What issues should be paid attention to during the carbonization of palm shells?

Palm shells can be processed into solid charcoal through carbonization. During the carbonization production process, some issues need to be paid attention to and organized management should be carried out to ensure efficiency, safety and environmental compliance. The following is a concise guide from DOING to help you effectively complete the entire carbonization process:

1. Pre-treatment of Palm Shell for Carbonization Process

Dry the palm shells and remove impurities

a. Dryness: Palm shells should be kept as dry as possible before carbonization to avoid excessive moisture affecting the carbonization effect and increasing energy consumption. Palm shells can be dried in the sun or dried in a drying furnace.

b. Impurity removal: Remove impurities in palm shells, such as soil, stones, etc., to prevent these impurities from affecting the quality of charcoal or damaging equipment during the carbonization process.

2.Palm Shell Carbonization Process Control for Safe Operation

a. Fire and explosion prevention: Palm shell carbonization generally uses a continuous carbonization furnace, which will produce flammable gases and high temperatures during the process. It is necessary to ensure that the carbonization furnace is well sealed to prevent gas leakage from causing fire or explosion. At the same time, a reliable ventilation system should be installed to discharge flammable gases in time and keep air circulation.

b. High temperature protection: The temperature of the continuous carbonization furnace is extremely high during operation. Operators should wear high temperature resistant protective equipment to avoid burns. At the same time, set up obvious warning signs to prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching.

c. Temperature control: Palm shell begins to dehydrate at 180℃, enters the initial carbonization stage at 220-280℃, and when the temperature rises to 300℃, hemicellulose begins to decompose rapidly, generating a large amount of volatile products; 400-550℃ is the main carbonization range, during which lignin and cellulose undergo deep cracking to form a stable carbonized structure. Therefore, temperature control is one of the things to pay attention to in the efficient carbonization process of palm shell.

d. Time control: Too long carbonization time will increase costs, and too short may lead to insufficient carbonization. It is necessary to determine the appropriate carbonization time through experiments and experience accumulation to ensure the quality and output of charcoal. Generally, the process of carbonizing palm shell into charcoal takes about 40 to 60 minutes. The specific waste palm shell residence time in the carbonization furnace will fluctuate with the moisture content of the raw materials and the rotation speed of the equipment per minute.

3.Palm shell carbonization issues : Environmental protection meets standards

a. Waste gas treatment: A large amount of waste gas will be generated during the carbonization process, which may contain harmful substances such as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide. Effective waste gas treatment equipment must be installed to purify the waste gas and discharge it after meeting the standards to reduce pollution to the environment.

b. Waste residue treatment: A certain amount of waste residue will be generated after carbonization. These waste residues should be properly disposed of. They can be comprehensively utilized or properly disposed of in accordance with environmental protection requirements to avoid random stacking and environmental pollution.
