Carbonization method and device

摘要

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing charcoal. It is characterized in that: first hot gases (G1) are generated by at least one heating means; its first gases (Gl) are mixed with second gases (G2) in order to form a gas mixture (GO); this mixture (GO) is sent into a charge of wood (6) in order to generate therein a pyrolysis front (20); an overpressure is created between the upstream end and the downstream end of the charge (6) so as to force this front to pass through it in one direction, namely from the upstream end to the downstream end; and third gases (G3)are recovered downstream of the charge (6), at least a first portion of said third gases, in the form of a stream of said second gases (G2), is conveyed by a conveying means (4). The invention also relates to a device for implementing this method.
