Abstract
The process includes activating a char in an oven by heating the char with steam to generate activated carbon and syngas. The process also includes monitoring parameters of the syngas produced and controlling the oven in response to the parameter. The process converts a feedstock, typically organic waste, into useable products.
Claims18
A process for producing activated carbon, the process comprising:
- activating a char in an oven, wherein the activating the char comprises:
- heating the char in the presence of steam to generate activated carbon and syngas;
- monitoring at least one parameter of the syngas produced, wherein the monitoring the at least one parameter of the syngas produced comprises monitoring at least one of carbon monoxide, hydrogen gas, or carbon dioxide;
- rotating the oven;
- and
- controlling the oven in response to the monitored at least one parameter of the syngas produced, wherein the controlling the oven comprises controlling one or more control parameters of the oven, wherein the one or more control parameters include at least one of a rotation speed of the oven or a rotation angle of the oven.
