Bamboo carbonization can be divided into four stages according to temperature and products situation in a kiln.
-
Third stage carbonization: the temperature is in the range of 260℃ to 450℃, and the bamboo is decomposed into liquid and gas products.
-
Second stage pre-carbonization: the temperature is in the range of 120℃ to 260℃ and there is a distinct chemical reaction in bamboo.
