2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a carbonization method for producing charcoal includes a method of supplying a combustion exhaust gas of a fuel such as a fossil fuel into a carbonization furnace and performing a carbonization treatment, or a method of performing a cooling process after the carbonization treatment outside the carbonization furnace.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method for producing charcoal, the adjustment or control of the carbonization temperature in the carbonization furnace is performed by detecting the atmosphere temperature in the carbonization furnace and performing the adjustment based on this atmosphere temperature. Therefore, even if the above-mentioned ambient temperature can be brought close to the set temperature suitable for each step of the carbonization process, the temperature of the material itself to be carbonized (the temperature of the central part of the material to be processed) ) Is far from the set temperature due to the heat insulation of the object to be treated.

[0004] In particular, in the drying process in the early stage of the temperature rise, the temperature of the object to be processed itself is much farther away from the set temperature than the set temperature, and the temperature of the object to be processed is lower than the set temperature in the subsequent temperature rise process. Will be delayed. Further, in the carbonization and refining process, the temperature in the charcoal layer is higher than the temperature of the extra-layer atmosphere due to heat storage. For this reason, the quality of the carbonized charcoal was significantly different from the quality at the expected temperature.

In recent years, the use of charcoal as an alternative to expensive coconut shell activated carbon and the like as an environmental purification material has been increasing, and furthermore, its use as a carbon material for electronic parts and heat-resistant parts has attracted attention. At the same time, there has been a strong demand for improvements in quality and functions. For this purpose, it has been necessary to produce high-temperature carbonized charcoal of unprecedented quality by performing high-temperature carbonizing treatment on charcoal in an inexpensive manner in an energy-saving manner.

In the conventional heating method in the production of charcoal, an object to be treated is heated with a combustion gas of a fuel material such as waste material while avoiding the use of fossil fuels in order to be economical. However, with this combustion gas, the thermal power is weak and the heating rate is slow,
In addition, the maximum temperature reached is limited to about 700 ° C., and there is a problem that a desired high-temperature carbonized charcoal cannot be obtained.

In the high-temperature carbonization method in which air is introduced into a carbonization furnace to partially burn the material to be treated and raise the temperature, the temperature of the material to be treated and the portion of charcoal are rapidly increased due to a local sharp rise in temperature. Cracking and incineration will impair the quality of charcoal.

On the other hand, when wood and bamboo having a high water content of about 60% (wet base) are to be treated, the time required for the drying step of the treated object generally depends on the entire processing step excluding the cooling step. Occupies a large ratio of 30% or more of the time required. Furthermore, if this drying step is not carried out gradually, it will have a significant effect on the appearance quality of the charcoal, such as the formation of significant cracks in the charcoal and bamboo charcoal and the non-uniform carbonization.

Further, if the high-temperature object to be treated is taken out of the furnace for cooling after completion of the carbonization treatment, it is explosively spontaneously ignited by contact with the oxygen of the outside air. It will be cooled naturally as it is. Then, because the carbonization furnace itself is highly insulated,
The temperature drops very slowly, for example, spending more than three days, making it unsuitable for industrial production of charcoal. On the other hand, if it is rapidly cooled by any means, a remarkable crack is generated due to a sudden shrinkage, which may lead to a deterioration in the quality of charcoal.
