The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon material preparation and provides a device and a method for rapidly preparing high-yield
activated carbon by
coupling of a pressure pump with microwaves. The device comprises a programmed controller, a feed unit, a reaction furnace, a pressure pump unit, a
microwave heating unit, an explosive spraying and cooling unit and a
pyrolysis gas treating unit. Friction and collision of
raw material molecules are caused by the microwaves, reaction
activation energy is reduced, and the
process operation time is shortened greatly.
Retention time of volatile matter is prolonged by pressing of the pressure pump, the volatile matter is promoted to be deposited on surface of semi-
coke, and accordingly, yield of
solid carbon is increased; condensationpolymerization of
tar is also promoted by pressing, and production of the
tar is reduced substantially or avoided. Besides,
pyrolysis gas can be produced from inside of the raw materials by the aid of
microwave heating,
pyrolysis gas molecules retain in the
raw material molecules under the pressing action to play a role of in-situ self-template and shuttle back and forth freely in the raw materials non-directionally to substantially promote pore development of the
activated carbon, the instantaneous popcorn effect is beneficial to secondary pore forming of the pyrolysis gas, and the specificsurface area of a carbon material is increased.
