APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ACTIVE CARBON

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an activation treatment method with a prolonged period required, at high productivity.SOLUTION: A carbide continuously discharged from a plurality of carbonization furnaces connected in series for heat treatment by controlling the temperature set for each of the carbonization furnaces corresponding to the thermal decomposition properties of raw material active carbon is received by a plurality of carbide storage and activation furnaces 20, each of which has a function for storing the carbide and a function for activating a preset amount of carbide received, alternately performing the step of receiving the carbide and the step of activating the carbide.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】長時間必要な賦活処理の生産性を上げること。【解決手段】活性炭原料の熱分解特性に応じて各炭化炉に設定された温度を制御して熱処理を行う直列に連結された複数炭化炉により連続して排出される炭化物を受け入れる炭化物保管・賦活炉２０は複数台で構成されており、炭化物を保管する機能と、設定量受け入れた炭化物を賦活する機能を各々が持ち、炭化物受け入れ工程と賦活工程とを交互に行う。【選択図】図１
