How to Change the Biomass Materials into Charcoal?

Biomass materials include wheat straw, corn stalk, rice straw, rice husk, cotton stalk, sesame stalk, etc. Of course, they can be used and burned as fuel. But, a lot of countries have prohibited the burning of biomass materials directly as they can cause air pollution and lower visibility in atmosphere. We know that people try to reuse biomass materials to produce animal feed and soil fertilizer. However, they can also be used to make charcoal. Today, we will share the steps of changing biomass materials into charcoal.

1. The collection of biomass materials;

2. Crushing: Crush the biomass materials into particles with the size between 5mm to 10mm;

3. Drying: Dry the crushed biomass materials and make sure the moisture is between 8% to 12%;

4. Conveying: Convey the dried biomass materials to the briquette machine;

5. Briquetting: Extrude the biomass materials into solid rod with a centre hole through the process of high pressure and high temperature technology;

6. Carbonizing: Carbonized the briquetted solid rods by using the carbonization furnace;

7. Cooling: The carbonized solid rods will become charcoal after cooling;

8. Packaging: The finished product, charcoal, can be sold after packaged.

If you can easily get those biomass materials, it will be a profitable business to start a charcoal plant. You can start from small with low cost.
