Production of Activated Carbon from Wood Powder

01.Raw Material Selection

Wood waste or wood byproducts, such as sawdust, wood chips, or forestry residues, are collected and used as the primary raw material.

02.Pretreatment

The wood powder may undergo pretreatment processes to remove impurities and enhance the activation process. This may include washing, drying, and grinding to obtain a consistent particle size.

03.Carbonization

The wood powder is subjected to carbonization under controlled conditions, typically in the absence of oxygen. This process involves heating the wood powder to high temperatures, typically ranging from 500 to 1000°C, in a furnace or kiln. Carbonization converts the wood powder into a carbonaceous material with a high carbon content.

04.Activation

The carbonized wood is then activated to increase its surface area and porosity. This is achieved by exposing the carbonized wood to an activating agent, such as steam, carbon dioxide, or potassium hydroxide, under controlled conditions. The activation process creates a highly porous structure with a large surface area, enhancing the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon.

05.Post-Treatment

After activation, the activated carbon may undergo post-treatment processes, such as washing and drying, to remove any residual chemicals or impurities and to achieve the desired physical and chemical properties.

Notes of Using Activated Carbon

Prior to use, activated carbon should be cleaned to remove dust. These black dusts may temporarily affect the water quality of cleanliness. But it is recommended that do not directly use fresh tap water, because the porous
Activated carbon absorb the chlorine and the bleach in a lot of water and subsequently been used into the filter the activated carbon will cause damage to water quality.The usual simple cleaning is unable to clean the debris clogging the pores of activated carbon. So, be sure to regularly replace the activated carbon in order to avoid the loss of effectiveness due to adsorption saturation. Do not wait for its failure to replace, so be to ensure that the activated carbon can continue remove the harmful substances in the aquarium water. The recommended replacement of activated carbon is 1-2 times monthly.
The efficiency of activated carbon for water treatment is closely related to its processing amount; usually the larger amount has a better effect.
When a certain quantity of activated carbon is used, during the initial period the quality change of water should always be observed and pay attention to the observations, as it can be used to determine how long to replace the activated carbon.

Wood-based Activated Carbon Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Raw materials need to be initially cleaned of dust and impurities attached to the surface, crushed into fragments with appropriate granularity if necessary, and then completed with batching. After that, they will be sent by conveyor to the carbonization kiln for calcination.

Raw Material Carbonization
In the carbonization kiln, under a high temperature of about 150-650°C, wood-based raw materials undergo a series of physical changes and chemical changes (thermal decomposition) to finally form a carbonized material with a certain scale of pore structure.

Carbon Activation
In the activation kiln, under a high temperature of 800-1050°C, the water vapor, carbon dioxide, or air are taken as activating gases to oxidize the carbonized material for further enlarging the pores in the body, creating new pores, and removing tar and other substances.

Differences Between Wood-Based Activated Carbon and Coal-Based Activated Carbon

Liquid phase adsorption
Coal-based activated carbon contains large quantity of heavy metal and ash, lower product purity. Coal-based activated carbon mainly adopt phsical method, pore is microporer, suitable for small molecule adsorption, so it has narrow application range, generally include petrochemical, metallurgy, printing and dyeing, sewage treatment and other industrial fields. Wood-based activated carbon has low content of ash, less impurities, it is easy to purify. Under the chemical production process, it is easy to adjust the pore distribution structure of activated carbon, with well-developed micropores and mesopores, and is widely used, especially in food and beverage, medicine and other fields that require high adsorption performance and product safety. So, wood-base activated carbon cannot be replaced with coal-based activated carbon.

Gas phase adsorption
Coal-based activated carbon has big intensity, and it is convenient to recover, so it is normally used in the gas phase adsorption. Wood-based activated carbon has lower intensity, Traditionally, it is not used for gas phase adsorption. However, with the advancement of technology and the improvement of production technology, the application of wood activated carbon has also been expanded to some emerging gas phase adsorption fields such as oil and gas recovery, household air purification, etc. and as people pay attention to health, with the increasing attention to environmental protection, its application space in the field of gas phase adsorption will further increase.

From the view of potential
Coal resource is non-renewable, coal-based activated carbon resources are limited and carbon dioxide emissions are greatly increased during the production process, so product prices are on the rise driven by raw materials and environmental protection costs. Because the main raw material of wood-based activated carbon is the "three leftovers" of forest products, which can be recycled, and the price is expected to tend to decrease relatively due to technological progress, the long-term competitive advantage of wood-based activated carbon is higher than that of coal-based activated carbon.
