Carbonization is a common chemical reaction process that converts carbon source materials, such as coal, coke, or wood, into carbon under oxygen-free conditions at high temperatures. A horizontal carbonizer is a piece of equipment used to carry out the carbonization process and is characterized by being placed horizontally. Usually divided into two types: continuous and intermittent. In industry, horizontal carbonization machines are mainly used in the following aspects:

1. Biomass charcoal production: Horizontal carbonization machines are widely used to prepare biomass charcoal. Biomass raw materials (such as sawdust, coconut shells, straw, etc.) are carbonized in a high-temperature, low-oxygen environment to produce biomass charcoal. Biomass charcoal can be used to replace traditional coal as a form of biomass energy in fields such as power generation and heating.

2. Activated carbon production: Similar to the continuous carbonization machine, the horizontal carbonization machine can also be used to prepare activated carbon. Activated carbon with good adsorption properties is prepared by carbonizing organic raw materials under high temperature conditions and then activating it. Activated carbon has important applications in water treatment, air purification, etc.

3. Carbonization of wood chips: Horizontal carbonization machines are often used in the carbonization process of wood chips to convert wood chips into wood charcoal. Wood charcoal is commonly used for barbecues, heating, etc., and can also be used as a form of biomass charcoal.

4. Waste treatment: The horizontal carbonization machine can be used to process organic waste such as agricultural waste and garden waste, and convert it into useful carbonization products, such as biomass charcoal or soil conditioner.

5. Preparation of soil conditioner: Treat organic waste through a horizontal carbonization machine, and the carbonized product obtained can be used as a soil conditioner to improve the soil structure and increase soil fertility.

Due to its horizontal design, the horizontal carbonization machine can more conveniently feed and discharge materials, making the carbonization process more stable and continuous. This makes horizontal carbonizers more common in some industrial applications.
