Carbon-Regeneration Furnaces at MINTEK-M332

摘要

The concept of resistive heating has been applied in a furnace, in which an electrical potential is applied across a bed of activated carbon, resulting in a flow of current that generates the heat required for the regeneration of the carbon. Single-phase furnaces of 3 and 8 kg capacity, and a 100 kg capacity three-phase furnace, have been designed and installed for research purposes. The report describes these units and their operation.
