[0028] Reference is made below Figure 1 , Figure 2 to describe a biomass pyrolysis carbonization system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0029] In order to facilitate better understanding of the scheme of the present application, the principle of biomass pyrolysis carbonization is described as follows. Specifically, the biomass pyrolysis carbonization process can be divided into the following stages: ① drying stage, biomass material absorbs heat in the carbonization reactor, water is first evaporated and escaped, and the internal chemical composition of the biomass is almost unchanged; ② volatile pyrolysis stage, the biomass continues to absorb heat to about 200℃, internal macromolecular chemical bonds are broken and rearranged, organic matter is gradually volatilized, and internal thermal decomposition reaction of the material begins. Under the condition of oxygen deficiency, a small amount of gaseous combustible volatiles combusts, and this combustion is static penetration diffusion combustion, which can provide heat support for the decomposition of the material layer by layer; ③ is the overall carbonization stage, the material is subjected to rapid thermal decomposition at the same time, producing liquid products such as wood tar and acetic acid, and combustible gases such as methane and ethylene. With the separation and precipitation of most of the volatiles, the final remaining solid product is coke composed of carbon and ash.

The bottom of the discharging part 13 is further provided with a discharging opening for discharging biomass char. A collecting part is arranged below the discharging opening, and the biomass char discharged from the discharging opening is directly stored in the collecting part. Since the biomass pyrolysis carbonization needs to be in an oxygen-deficient state, dynamic sealing connection is required between the rotary furnace 11 and the feeding part 12, and dynamic sealing connection is required between the rotary furnace 11 and the discharging part 13.
