What does carbonization mean?

There is no concept of “carbiding” in inorganic chemistry. Turning sodium carbonate into sodium bicarbonate is called carbonation; it’s the first time this happens.

The topic raised by the original poster is quite interesting. “Carbonization” is probably an informal term; one meaning of it is the transformation into carbon – for example, when carbohydrates are placed in concentrated sulfuric acid, they lose water and turn into carbon; that’s why it’s called carbonization. Another meaning involves the absorption of carbon. I remember that the section where ammonium carbonate was produced was called the carbonization section, as ammonia absorbed carbon dioxide to form ammonium carbonate. As for whether this term is mentioned in books, I’m not sure after all this time. Theoretically speaking, carbonization makes sense, as there are many examples of metals undergoing carbonization. There are explanations available online: Carbonization refers to the process in which carbon-containing combustible substances decompose into gases, liquids, and solids when heated in an environment free from air. For example, coal is thermally decomposed into gas, tar, coke, etc. Based on the different temperatures required for the carbonization of various substances, carbonization is divided into high-temperature carbonization (900–1100°C), medium-temperature carbonization (660–750°C), and low-temperature carbonization (500–580°C). The thermal decomposition of organic compounds in the absence of air into carbon and other products, as well as the process by which strong dehydrating agents such as concentrated sulfuric acid cause certain compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (such as sugars) to lose water and turn into carbon, is also known as carbonization. In the ammonia-alkali industry or the carbonamide nitrogen fertilizer industry, the process of absorbing carbon dioxide using ammonia or ammonia-containing solutions to form carbonates is also known as carbonation

1. Also known as dry distillation. Thermochemical processing methods for solid fuels. Coal, wood, oil shale, and similar materials are heated in the absence of air to undergo decomposition, producing gases (gas), liquids (tar), and solids (coke). Tar vapor escapes from the coke oven along with the gas and can be recycled, while the coke is removed from the oven. 　　2. The thermal decomposition of organic compounds into carbon and other products in the absence of air, as well as the conversion of compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (such as sugars) into carbon through the use of a strong water absorber (concentrated sulfuric acid), is also referred to as carbonization. During carbonization, the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms removed is 2:1. 　　3. Carbonization refers to a pyrolysis technique in which biomass is processed under anaerobic or hypoxic conditions with the aim of producing corresponding carbon materials. This process occurs simultaneously with the decomposition of the biomass, wood fibers, and lignin

From the entire passage by LZ, it can be seen: \"Is there a concept of ‘carbide’ in inorganic chemistry?\" ” I would like to talk about the concept of \"carbonation\" in the soda ash industry. “\"Carbonization\", also known as \"carbonation\", is the most crucial step in the synthesis of soda ash. That is, ammonium salt water and carbon dioxide are converted into sodium bicarbonate in the carbonation tower. Sodium bicarbonate is subjected to vacuum filtration and calcination to become sodium carbonate, namely soda ash. The transformation of sodium carbonate into sodium bicarbonate is certainly not called carbonation. The conversion of sodium carbonate to sodium bicarbonate is likely due to the hydration in heavy soda ash. Please point out any inaccuracies.

Carbonization is a process used in ammonia synthesis plants to remove carbon dioxide using concentrated ammonia solution, while simultaneously producing the product ammonium bicarbonate; it is a type of chemical decarburization method.
