Continuous carbonization furnace turns waste into treasure

Oct 18,2024

Hydrogen energy, as a clean energy that promotes the transformation from traditional fossil energy to green energy, is regarded as a disruptive technology direction of the future energy revolution. Hydrogen fuel cell is the key carrier to realize the conversion of hydrogen energy into electric energy. As the key materials and core components of hydrogen fuel cell, carbon paper and graphite bipolar plate are particularly important.
Carbon paper and gas diffusion layer (GDL) as one of the core materials of hydrogen fuel cells, related enterprises are accelerating the development of localization. In the view of Yi Baolian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, "At present, carbon paper and gas diffusion layer, which are the upstream core materials of fuel cells, are still in a state of being almost monopolized by foreign suppliers. In order to ensure national energy security and promote the sound development of the domestic hydrogen energy industry, China should be able to build its own key core materials, carbon paper and gas diffusion layer."

According to the needs of the industry, enrui has independently developed a series of special thermal equipment such as low-temperature/high-temperature carbonization and graphitization, breaking through a number of key technologies such as intelligent transmission, trace oxygen element control, furnace anti-pollution, efficient heating, air intake matching control, intelligent exhaust control, efficient capture and treatment of by-products, etc. The equipment has been successfully delivered and used in many regions across the country.
The 2000 ℃ carbon paper continuous carbonization production line made by IME can be continuously discharged, carbonized and graphitized under protective atmosphere, which can realize continuous mass production of high-performance carbon paper for hydrogen fuel cell.
