Wood charcoal making machine is used to solve the waste wood disposal issues in the forestry and wood processing industry. Through high-temperature and low-oxygen pyrolysis technology, this machine transforms waste wood into economically valuable charcoal. The entire transformation process ensures environmental friendliness and minimal pollution. As one of the leaders in the waste recycling field, Beston Group offers a one-stop wood recycling solution for your maximum convenience.
Background of Forestry & Wood Processing Industry
With the increasing use of wood, approximately 15 million tons of waste wood are generated globally every year. However, less than 20% of wood resources are recycled.
Where is Wood Waste from?
Forest Planting
Wood Waste from Forest Planting
In forest planting, wood waste mainly consists of trunks and branches from trees. They are usually produced during the daily maintenance of forests.
Forest Harvest
Wood Waste from Forest Harvest
Logging and timber harvesting operations produce these wastes, which include materials unfit for commercial use. They include small trees, tree tops, and un-merchantable wood left in the forest after harvesting.
Sawmill
Waste Wood from Sawmill
These wastes are generated during the processing of sawn timber in sawmills. They’re by-products and residues from the sawing process, including wood scraps, including logs, wood chips, bark, sawdust, and shavings.
Wood Processing Factory
Waste Wood from Wood Processing Factory
Wood processing waste refers to materials generated during the production of wood products. They encompass a range of by-products from all aspects of the wood industry.
Wood Board Processing: This kind of wood waste involves the waste generated during the cutting, shaping, and finishing of wood board manufacturing.
Furniture Production: It includes the offcuts generated during the furniture manufacturing process. In addition, it also includes wooden parts of used furniture.
Gardening
Wood WasteĀ from Gardening
Garden waste is a biological type of waste. They are collected during municipal garden maintenance activities. It typically consists of branches, sticks, trimmings, and various multiple woody organic wastes.
Limitation of Existing Treatment of Wood Waste
Accumulation & Landfilling
Accumulation & Landfilling:
Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Greenhouse gases such as methane can be released during the accumulation and decomposition of wood waste.
Limited Space: Landfill space is limited, and excessive accumulation of wood waste can lead to the depletion of available landfill space.
Fire Risk: Wood waste that is stockpiled or landfilled is often left unattended. As a flammable material, it may pose a fire hazard.
Burn Directly
Burn Directly
Air Pollution: Burning releases particulate matter and harmful gases, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds.
Incomplete Combustion: Moisture and volatile matter are present in wood. Even as a fuel, burning wood directly does not fully unleash the combustion performance of the wood.
CO/CO2 Emissions: Although wood is considered a renewable resource, burning it releases CO/CO2, resulting in greenhouse gas emissions.
Composting
Composting:
Slow Decomposition: Wood materials decompose slowly compared to other organic waste. This results in large amounts of waste wood facing short-term disposal challenges.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions: During the composting process breakdown of wood waste may lead to the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Solution for Wood Recycling – Wood Charcoal Making Machine
With the rise of the concept of sustainable development, there is an increasing emphasis on developing more environmentally friendly methods to manage wood processing waste. Beston Group presents the wood to charcoal solution with its innovative wood charcoal machine. This machine utilizes pyrolysis technology to efficiently break down large quantities of waste wood, achieving “waste reduction“. Simultaneously, it transforms discarded wood into versatile and economically valuable charcoal, achieving “resource utilization“.
This solution effectively addresses the issue of accumulated waste wood, yielding positive environmental impacts. Furthermore, it contributes to diversifying products in the forestry and wood processing industry, fostering their sustainable development. This wood to charcoal solution perfectly conforms to the green circular economy’s principles.
How to Make Charcoal From Wood Waste?
Wood to charcoal machine uses wood resources as raw materials. After pyrolysis, the carbon and hydrogen elements in the raw materials are converted into mixed combustible gases with high calorific value. It also produces charcoal and by-products, including wood vinegar and tar. The following is the specific wood charcoal making process for your reference.
This process takes place in the wood carbonization furnace. The reaction temperature is 380āto 450ā in a hypoxic and micro-pressure environment.
- Step 1- Dehydrate: Remove internal water;
- Step 2- Demethylation: Remove hydrogen, methane, ethane, carbon monoxide and other mixed biogas;
- Step 3- Volatile release: Remove tar, methanol, ethylene, and other substances.
Application of Wood Charcoal
Wood from forests and wood processing can be recycled by wood biomass pyrolysis plant. Meanwhile, charcoal comes back to serve these sectors in a sustainable cycle. Whatās more, because of application versatility, charcoal finds widespread use across various industries.
CircularĀ ApplicationĀ of Wood Charcoal
Soil Remediation or Improvement in Foresty Industry
Wood charcoal produced by pyrolysis is a kind of biochar. So it can be returned to the forest industry for soil remediation or improvement purposes.Ā Wood charcoalāsĀ porous structure helps the soilĀ retain water and aeration. Its alkaline nature helps reduce soil acidity. This improved soil structure helps forest plant roots grow deeper into the soil. Consequently, forest plants have increased access to nutrition and improved resistance to fire, drought, wind, and cold.
Providing Fuel for Wood Processing Industry
Freshly cut wood contains a lot of water. To ensure the quality of wood products, drying the wood is essential. The sawdust charcoal making machine can convert wood processing waste into charcoal. It can serve as a fuel to dry the logs. This self-sufficient fuel supply reduces the use of traditional fossil energy. Through the recycling and reuse of waste wood, the wood processing industry realizes a closed loop of the circular value chain.
Diverse Applications of Wood Charcoal
Soil Additive
Feed Additive
Barbecue Charcoal
Metallurgical Reducing Agent
Industrial Fuel
Hookah Charcoal
Soil Additive:
By improving farmland quality, charcoal reduces traditional agriculture’s reliance on chemical fertilizers. In addition, adding charcoal to urban green soil improves the stress resistance of urban trees.
Feed Additive:
As a feed additive, charcoal can absorb odors, toxic substances, and bacteria. This improves the animalās digestive health. Its carbonaceous structure can also improve the adsorption of feed and increase the utilization rate of nutrients.
Barbecue Charcoal:
An ideal fuel for barbecues, charcoal generates high temperatures when burned, making it a top choice for outdoor cooking. High-quality barbecue charcoal can also reduce smoke and odor and enhance the taste of grilled food.
Metallurgical Reducing Agent:
Charcoal serves as a reducing agent in the metallurgical process. Plus, it can participate in the smelting of metal ores and reduce oxidized metals to metals. Eucalyptus charcoal is the most widely used.
Industrial Fuel:
Charcoal burns extremely well. Therefore, it is widely used in industry as a renewable fuel. Charcoal provides an efficient source of energy in production processes such as steel manufacturing and calcining raw materials.
Hookah Charcoal:
The charcoal used for hookah requires special treatment. This ensures the right amount of smoke is produced and provides the tobacco with a long-lasting burn time. It provides a pleasurable experience to hookah lovers.
