Abstract:
An apparatus for carbonizing carbonaceous raw materials, comprising a tube having a bottom for holding a column of carbonaceous raw materials, a mechanism for subjecting the column to heat and pyrolysing the raw materials to produce a carbonized product and gases and vapors and deliver them through the bottom of the tube, and a device for burning the gases and vapors at the bottom of the tube and using the heat generated thereby to heat the column, wherein the burning device includes a separator to dissever the gases and vapors from the carbonized product wherein the burning device includes a combustion box and the separator is mounted above the combustion box and restrains downward movement of the column, wherein the carbonized product is delivered through the bottom of the combustion box, and the apparatus further includes a reactor for receiving the carbonized product and activating it and for passing by-product gases and vapors thereof to the combustion box for burning.
