How to Make Biochar by Biochar Making Machine?
01 Biomass Pretreatment
Before entering biochar production units, the biomass must meet certain feeding requirements: Moisture Content < 15% | Particle Size < 20mm | Good fluidity | Low dust content.
The pretreatment facilities we can provide include: dryer, crusher and drum screen.
02 Pyrolysis
Before feeding, the reactor is preheated with a burner. The preheating fuel uses natural gas, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, etc.
After the preheating, the material enters the carbonization furnace through a screw conveyor, and the pyrolysis reaction begins.
At high temperatures(380℃ to 450℃), biomass undergoes internal dehydration, demethylation, organic volatilization. Finally, biomass is converted to biochar.
03 Combustible Gas Reuse
Once the temperature stabilizes, biomass releases combustible gases (such as H₂, CH₄, and CO). These gases are piped back into the combustion system to fuel the biochar plant, replacing external energy sources.
04 Biochar Collection
High-temperature biochar is discharged via a water-cooled screw conveyor. After passing through 3 conveyors, biochar’s temperature reaches below 45°C.
05 Waste Gas Treatment
Flue Gas Reuse: Flue gas preheats the air supplies oxygen to burner. In addition, it is also used to heat biomass in the dryer.
Exhaust Gas Emissions: Through heat exchanger and bag filter, exhaust gas is cooled and de-dusted. After desulfurization and activated carbon adsorption, chimney discharges the exhaust gas.
Different Biomass Feedstock Types, Biochar Properties and Applications
Biomass Feedstock Types
Woody Biomass：
Forest management waste: branches, stumps, diseased or dead wood.
Food processing waste: coconut shells, rice husks, empty fruit bunches.
Biochar ’s Properties
Porous Structure: Biochar features a highly porous structure with a large specific surface area (typically 200–500 m²/g), enabling efficient adsorption and improved water and nutrient retention.
Rich Functional Groups: Biochar surfaces contain active functional groups (e.g., hydroxyl, carboxyl) that enhance chemical interactions with minerals, microorganisms, and organic matter. Thereby improving its adsorption capacity.
