What is charcoal?
According to Collins English Dictionary, charcoal is a black
amorphous form of carbon made by heating wood or other organic matter in the
absence of air: used as a fuel, in smelting metal ores, in explosives, and as
an absorbent. Many people use charcoal to make fires, for cooking, and for
heating up water.
Uses
Cooking fuel
Prior to the
industrial revolution charcoal was occasionally used as a cooking fuel. Modern
"charcoal briquettes", widely used for outdoor cooking, are not
charcoal though they may contain some.
Syngas production, automotive fuel[
Like many other
sources of carbon, charcoal can be used for the production of various syngas compositions;
i.e., various CO + H2 + CO2 + N2 mixtures.
The syngas is typically used as fuel, including automotive propulsion, or as a
chemical feedstock.
In times of scarce
petroleum, automobiles and even buses have been converted to burn wood gas (a
gas mixture consisting primarily of diluting atmospheric nitrogen,
but also containing combustible gasses, mostly carbon monoxide)
released by burning charcoal or wood in a wood gas generator. In 1931 Tang Zhongming developed
an automobile powered by charcoal, and these cars were popular in China until
the 1950s and in occupied France during World War II (called gazogènes).
Pyrotechnics
Charcoal is used in
the production of black powder, which is used extensively in the production of
fireworks. It is usually ground into a fine powder, with airfloat grade being
the finest particle size available commercially. When used in black powder
compositions, it is often ball-milled with other ingredients so that they are
intimately mixed together. Certain charcoals perform better when used to make
black powder, these include spruce, willow, paulownia and grapevine among
others.
Carbon source
Charcoal may be used
as a source of carbon in chemical reactions. One example of this is the
production of carbon disulphidethrough the reaction of sulfur
vapors with hot charcoal. In that case the wood should be charred at high
temperature to reduce the residual amounts of hydrogen and oxygen that lead to
side reactions.
Charcoal is a highly demanded and an exportable commodity, we have the capacity and a
willing to export it to any country in the world.
