PROCEDURE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ACTIVATED CARBON AND INSTALLATION THAT EMPLOYS SAID PROCEDURE

Claims

Process for the production of activated carbon. From the combustion of biomass, the boiler ash (3) is washed (6, 7); the washed water and ash are extracted and filtered, separating the ash from the coal dust, recycling the ash dilution water. The coal dust is sent in (15) to a second conveyor (19) that forms a dispersion chamber, where the coal dust is heated, and sent to a cyclone (22), where a stream of hot gases (23) from a biomass burner (27) converts it into activated carbon.
