Apparatus and process for the continuous production of biochar and biochar produced by this process

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for the continuous production of biochar by pyrolysis of biomass under exclusion of oxygen, comprising at least one vertical reactor having a top cover with a biomass feeder, a bottom biopicker, a pyrolysis gas diverter, and an internal heater , According to the invention it is provided that the heating device is designed as at least one heating element arranged vertically within the reactor. The present invention further relates to a process for the continuous production of biochar by pyrolysis of biomass with exclusion of oxygen, characterized by the following process steps: a) provision of at least one device according to the invention; b) filling the at least one reactor with biomass by means of the feed device; c) heating the at least one heating element to at least 700 ° C with oxygen termination and pyrolytic conversion of the biomass to biochar; d) continuous removal of the biochar in a defined amount per unit time by the removal device with simultaneous continuous supply of biomass in a defined amount per unit time by the feeder and simultaneous continuous discharge of the resulting pyrolysis gas by the diversion.
