Where Does Sawdust Come from?
Sawdust (or wood dust) is a by-product or waste product of woodworking operations such as sawing, sanding, milling and routing. It is composed of very small chips of wood. Here are some common sources of sawdust:
Sawmills: These facilities process logs into lumber, producing sawdust as a by-product during cutting and trimming operations.
Board Mills: Such factories produce products such as plywood and particleboard. A large amount of sawdust is generated during the molding process.
Furniture Manufacturers: This industry generates sawdust during the cutting, shaping, and finishing of wood to create furniture.

How to Make Charcoal from Sawdust?
To ensure a smooth and efficient pyrolysis reaction, sawdust raw materials should be less than 15% moisture and less than 20mm in size(5-8mm is the best). Otherwise, a dryer or crusher is needed.
Sawdust is loaded to the silo by the loader and then is fed into the inner cylinder of the pyrolysis(carbonization) reactor by a screw feeder.
Heat the reactor for 60-90 minutes. At around 150℃, sawdust will begin to decompose. At around 350℃, charcoal will continuously be produced. Typically, this reaction takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
There are syngas generated during biomass pyrolysis. The syngas are delivered to a cyclone dedusting system to remove heavy particles. Finally, syngas is recycled to heat the pyrolysis reactor.
The produced charcoal falls from the inner cylinder of the pyrolysis reactor into the outer cylinder. And then it is discharged safely by the water-cooling screw auto discharger. Its temperature will be reduced to below 45℃.
The hot smoke from the reactor enters the cyclone dust collector to be purified. Then the hot smoke passes through the air heat exchanger and then goes into the fuel condenser. Finally, it is sucked into the dedusting tower by the exhaust-induced draft fan. Cleaned by the cyclone, dedusting water spray, ceramic ring absorption, and the defogging plate, the exhaust gas is expelled.
Applications of Sawdust Charcoal: Long-term Market Potential
Sawdust charcoal is a versatile and eco-friendly product. This contributes to its strong long-term market potential. Here’s a closer look at its key applications:
Sawdust charcoal is an excellent alternative to traditional fossil fuels. It is an appealing option for use in domestic heating, BBQ, shisha, and industrial factories.
In metallurgy, sawdust charcoal serves as a reductant in the extraction of metals from ores. It provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for reducing metal oxides to their base forms.
Sawdust charcoal is also utilized in the production of building materials. It can be incorporated into concrete and other construction materials to enhance their properties, such as thermal insulation and durability.
Sawdust charcoal can locks carbon into the soil for extended periods, effectively reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. This aspect aligns with global efforts to mitigate climate change.
In agriculture, sawdust biochar added to soil can improve soil fertility by increasing nutrient retention and water-holding capacity. It also promotes healthy microbial activity in the soil, which contributes to better crop yields.
Sawdust charcoal can be used as an additive in animal feed. It helps to improve digestion and reduce gastrointestinal issues in livestock. Additionally, its absorptive properties can help in removing toxins from the animal’s system.
