GAS-L: saw dust pyrolysis times



Help needed
 
If i take oven dry sawdust which has been hammer milled down to less than 5mm
and feed this into an air tight tube which has an inside temp of 450 deg c and the saw dust is agitated to ensure a fluidised state to allow maximum contact between material and heat then how long would it take to turn to charcoal.
I am trying to get a feel for reaction times of different particle sizes so that i can calculate the length of tube needed to give a complete reaction.
