How to reduce ash content in pyrolysis char?

1. Raw Material Pre-Treatment

  • Strictly sort and clean raw materials to remove soil, sand, stone and inorganic impurities in advance.
  • Remove fabric, fiber and foreign sundries before pyrolysis to avoid forming fixed ash after high-temperature cracking.
  • Crush materials evenly to ensure uniform pyrolysis reaction.

2. Optimize Pyrolysis Process Conditions

  • Control reasonable pyrolysis temperature, avoid excessive high temperature which causes mineral components to fuse and form stable ash.
  • Adjust heating speed and material residence time to fully separate organic carbon and inorganic ash components.
  • Maintain stable inert atmosphere to reduce oxidative ash generation.

3. Physical Ash Removal after Pyrolysis (Main Industrial Method)

  • Air classifier: Separate light ash powder from heavy char particles by wind sorting.
  • Vibrating sieving: Classify particle size to screen out coarse ash slag.
  • Magnetic separator: Remove iron-based ash and metal impurities efficiently.
  • Gravity sorting: Separate high-density inorganic ash from low-density pyrolysis char.

4. Deep Chemical Purification (For Low-Ash High-Grade Products)

  • Adopt acid leaching process to dissolve silicate, metal oxide and other inorganic ash substances.
  • Conduct repeated water washing and neutralization treatment to eliminate residual acid and soluble ash.
  • Apply high-temperature secondary calcination to further remove volatile ash components.

5. Post-Processing Refining

  • Carry out ultrafine grinding to dissociate wrapped internal ash inside char particles.
  • Match multi-stage combined sorting process to greatly lower final ash content.
