The main fuels used in ancient Chinese ceramic manufacturing kilns are ()

Generally the fuel of the big kiln is mostly heavy oil, light diesel oil or gas, natural gas. Firewood kiln:Firewood is the heritage of the ancient kiln industry. Dragon kiln, bun kiln, gourd kiln and various other kilns belong to the category of firewood kiln. Because its burning needs wood, not conducive to the protection of environmental resources, except in some traditional ceramic production areas, rarely seen. Coal kiln:It is an industrial kiln fueled by coal. Was used in large quantities, but due to high energy consumption, pollution and was abandoned or improve the use of gas or heavy oil, light diesel fuel. Electric Kiln:Electricity as energy source, mostly with electric wire, silicon carbide rods or molybdenum disilicide as heating element, based on the principle of radiation and heat conduction of electric energy, fired in an oxidizing atmosphere. Electronic program control, easy to operate, good safety performance, applicable to a variety of workplaces, electric kiln is a lot of ceramic studio necessary firing kiln. Gas kiln:Fueled by liquefied petroleum gas, coal gas or natural gas, it has strong fire power, little pollution, and is suitable for firing in different firing atmospheres. It is the most widely used kiln at present.
