The effect of heating rate, particle size and gas flow on the yield of charcoal during the pyrolysis of radiata pine wood

Abstract

Charcoal derived from sustainable grown wood is a potential source of fuel and reductant for iron and steel making and a potential way to decrease the net CO2 emissions from the steelmaking industry. However a modern charcoal making process is likely to be required to supply the iron and steel industry with the required amount of charcoal to make significant difference to greenhouse gas emissions. The design of such a process requires fundamental knowledge on the effect of process variables on charcoal formation and yield during pyrolysis.
