Charcoal
may seem a mundane material, but its unique properties have been valued by people
throughout history. It was first used more than 30,000 years ago to make some
of the earliest cave paintings. Much later, charcoal played an important role
as a technologically material. Now charcoal is also of great interest since we
are beginning to achieve a detailed picture of its atomic structure for the first
time.
Wood charcoal as a fuel
When talking
about wood charcoal most people think about it as a cooking fuel. It is known
that wood charcoal is much better than wood due to the following reasons: its
calorific value is higher than that of wood, its ignition temperature is less
than wood, it causes less air pollution and it smells better. So, it is
widely used for outdoor grilling and barbecues in backyards and on camping
trips.
Its use as a fuel
was crucial in the development of metallurgy. Thus, charcoal is an ideal fuel
for a forge and is still widely used by blacksmiths. It is also an excellent
reducing fuel for the production of iron and has been used that way since Roman
times.
Adsorption properties of wood charcoal
Wood charcoal is
porous and can absorb liquids and gases on its porous surface. Therefore, it is
used in water filters, gas masks and antigastric tablets, capsule or powder for
people suffering from indigestion. Wood charcoal is also used as a
decolourizing agent as it can adsorb colouring matter. It is used for decourizing
sugar solutions, organic preparations, alcohol and petroleum products. What is
more, wood charcoal is used for gun powder production, as it is a mixture of
charcoal, potassium nitrate and sulphur.
Charcoal as an
artists' material is used for drawing, making rough sketches in painting and is
one of the possible media for making a parsemage. One additional use of wood charcoal has
been rediscovered recently in horticulture. It became known that pre-Columbian
natives used charcoal to turn unproductive soil into carbon rich soil. Their
technique may find modern application, both to improve soils and as a means of
carbon sequestration.
So, charcoal has been
used since the earliest times for a large range of purposes including art and
medicine, but by far its most important use has been as a metallurgical fuel.
Wood charcoal is also important to chemists, gardeners, households etc. As can
be seen the science of charcoal has been studied for over 200 years, but there
is still much to learn.
Hardwood 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.
