kolifiering
Kolifiering, or carbonization, is the thermal treatment of organic material in low- or absent-oxygen conditions to drive off volatile components and leave behind a carbon-rich solid residue. The process relies on pyrolysis, where heat is applied without combustion, so oxidation is minimized and the material’s chemical structure reorganizes into more aromatic, carbon-dominated networks.
The conditions for kolifiering vary with the feedstock and the desired product. Temperature typically ranges from
Feedstocks include biomass (wood, agricultural residues, and other organic matter), coal, and certain polymers. The solid
Environmental and energy considerations are important, as kolifiering is energy-intensive and emits volatiles that may require
