carbonizer
Burns to carbon
A carbonizer is a device or apparatus that converts material into carbon, typically through intense heat in the absence of oxygen.
Industrial carbonizers process coal, biomass, or organic waste into charcoal, coke, or activated carbon.
The term also applies to someone who operates such equipment or, more rarely, to any agent that chars or blackens a substance.
