How to Make Coconut Shell From Coconut Shell?
this is a step for coconut shell activated carbon manufacturing. The finished product has many types including powder, columnar, granular, etc.
Supplies
some activated carbon making machines are required:
- Carbinization furnace
- Activated carbon rotary kiln
- Crushing machine
- Screening machines
- Conveying machine
- Dryer
- Cooler
- Automatic Packing Machine
- Industrial Dust Collector
- Spray Tower
Raw Material Preparation
Raw Material Collection: Collect mature coconut shells from coconut processing plants or agricultural areas. These shells are preferred due to their hardness and high carbon content.
Carbonization Process
Carbonization plant: The coconut shells are dried to remove moisture and then heated in a low-oxygen environment at temperatures ranging from 600 to 900 degrees Celsius. This process, known as carbonization, removes volatile compounds and converts the shells into charcoal while preserving the carbon content.
Activation Process
The carbonized coconut shells are crushed or ground into smaller particles to create a uniform size. The particle size can vary depending on the intended application of the activated carbon.
In this method, the carbonized coconut shell is exposed to high temperatures (800 to 1,000 degrees Celsius) in the presence of steam or carbon dioxide. in the activation plant, activated carbon rotary kiln will be core. This process causes the material to swell and form pores, resulting in a porous structure.
Washing and Filtration
Washing and Filtration: After activation, the activated carbon undergoes multiple washing cycles to remove any impurities or residual activating agents. Filtration processes are employed to ensure the final product meets quality standards.
Drying and Packaging
Drying and Packaging: The activated carbon is dried to remove moisture and then sieved to achieve the desired particle size distribution. Finally, it is packaged into bags or containers by automatic packing machines for distribution and use.
