Karbonizálás

Karbonizálás is a German term referring to the process of carbonization. This involves the thermal decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen or with a limited supply of it. The primary goal of carbonization is to remove volatile components like water and gases, leaving behind a solid residue rich in carbon. This process is fundamental to the production of various carbon-based materials.

Common applications of karbonizálás include the production of charcoal from wood, which is used as a fuel and in metallurgy. It is also a crucial step in the creation of coke from coal, essential for steelmaking. Furthermore, karbonizálás plays a role in the manufacturing of activated carbon, known for its high surface area and porous structure, making it valuable for adsorption and filtration purposes. The temperature and duration of the process significantly influence the final product's properties, such as its carbon content, porosity, and reactivity. Different materials and desired outcomes necessitate specific karbonizálás conditions.
