For example, in the manufacture of activated carbon, solid carbonaceous materials (such as coal, wood, hard fruit shells, fruit pits, resins, etc.) are usually carbonized at 600-900℃ under the condition of air isolation. The raw material is heated and decomposed in a sealed, oxygen-free environment, and hydrogen and other substances are volatilized to leave carbon, while forming countless micropores, i.e. completing the carbonization process.
