Diseño de un horno industrial para la producción de carbón orgánico a partir de la cáscara de coco

Abstract

The research on the production of charcoal from coconut shells highlights the importance of an efficient carbonization process to obtain a high quality product. The implementation of advanced techniques for monitoring and controlling the process is crucial to maintain optimal conditions, which not only improves efficiency, but also reduces environmental impact by reusing agricultural residues and reducing deforestation. In addition, proper kiln location and control of operating conditions, such as the right temperature of 350°C, are essential to maximize production and ensure charcoal quality. Taguchi's experiment was a good tool to optimize the carbonization process by identifying the most suitable combinations of temperature, size and location of coconut shells, resulting in charcoal with minimal losses, Industrial kilns should be efficient combustion and thermal insulation systems, and a comprehensive environmental management plan should be adopted to minimize emissions and other adverse impacts throughout the coconut shell carbonization project.
