A char removal pipe including a removal pipe (22), a perforated plate (26) that partitions the interior of the removal pipe (22) into a powder channel (29) and a gas chamber (30), and an assist gas supplying device (28) that supplies an assist gas to the gas chamber (30). The perforated plate (26) is formed so that the pressure loss when the assist gas flows from the gas chamber (30) to the powder channel (29) through the perforated plate (26) is greater than the pressure loss when the assist gas flows through accumulated powder formed by the accumulation, on the perforated plate (26), of powder flowing in the powder channel (29).

1. A char removal pipe comprising: a removal pipe including a first vertically oriented piping in which powder is supplied,an inclined piping which is connected to the first vertically oriented piping and through which the powder flows, anda second vertically oriented piping connected to the inclined piping to receive powder therefrom;a perforated plate disposed inside the inclined piping so as to partition the interior of the inclined piping into a powder channel and a gas chamber; andan assist gas supplying device that supplies an assist gas to the gas chamber,wherein an end on a downstream side of the first vertically oriented piping is joined to an end on an upstream side of the inclined piping,wherein an end on a downstream side of the inclined piping is joined to an end on an upstream side of the second vertically oriented piping,wherein the powder is transported from the end on the downstream side of the first vertically oriented piping to the end on the upstream side of the inclined piping due to a force of gravity,wherein accumulated powder is formed by accumulating the powder on the perforated plate during the powder flows by using the force of gravity and the assist gas from the end on the upstream side of the inclined piping to the end on the downstream side of the inclined piping,wherein the powder transported from the end on the downstream side of the inclined piping to the upstream side of the second vertically oriented piping is discharged from an end on a downstream side of the second vertically oriented piping by using the force of gravity,wherein the perforated plate is formed from a plate in which a plurality of holes are formed in a predetermined density, andwherein diameters of the holes and the density of the holes are set so that a pressure loss when the assist gas flows from the gas chamber to the powder channel through the perforated plate, in a state in which the accumulated powder is not formed, is greater than a pressure loss when the assist gas flows through accumulated powder that is formed at a maximum height due to powder flowing through the powder channel being accumulated on the perforated plate. 2. The char removal pipe according to claim 1, wherein the perforated plate is formed of perforated metal that is formed from a plate in which holes are formed. 3. The char removal pipe according to claim 1, wherein the perforated plate is formed of a plurality of portions, and a pressure loss in a first portion among the plurality of portions is different from a pressure loss in a second portion different from the first portion among the plurality of portions. 4. The char removal pipe according to claim 3, wherein the gas chamber is provided with a plurality of gas chambers corresponding to the plurality of portions, and the assist gas supplying device supplies the assist gas to the plurality of gas chambers such that gas pressure of a first gas chamber corresponding to the first portion among the plurality of gas chambers is different from gas pressure of a second gas chamber corresponding to the second portion among the plurality of gas chambers. 5. The char removal pipe according to claim 3, wherein the assist gas supplying device is formed such that a flow rate at which the assist gas is ejected from an upstream-side portion among the plurality of portions is greater than a flow rate at which the assist gas is ejected from a downstream-side portion that is disposed further toward a downstream side of the powder channel than the upstream-side portion among the plurality of portions.
