Useful properties of charcoal

Charcoal a unique product. It has appeared for a long time already and will exist still for a long time. But for this purpose it is necessary to use it expediently. It is one of oldest of artificial fuels and it prepared within several thousand years. Charcoal very useful product for house use and the chemical industry, agriculture, the industry and in many other things areas. The industry on steel manufacture especially requires physical properties of charcoal. Charcoal is the most expensive raw materials for blast furnaces. Charcoal of excellent quality can have very high maintenance of ashes. Main use of charcoal in house economy of the developing world for heating of water, cooking or heating of water for household needs. It is a lot of useful qualities of charcoal, all of them not to list, but they can be estimated even in house conditions.

Charcoal - weight of carbon which consists of set of coal materials. It is one of oldest of artificial fuel and it prepared during several thousand years. Charcoal considered the main energy source all over the world.

Charcoal can be made of a considerable quantity of natural materials, wood, such as hickory, an oak, a maple, and fruit trees. They have unique aromas and tend to make the best grade of charcoal. The best grades of charcoal make of raw materials with the low maintenance of sulphur.

Charcoal’s using can pleasantly surprise you. Moreover, this fuel which use for preparation of a stake, hot dogs, and hamburgers on Sunday picnic. And also it can be used in many other things processes. Charcoal is used in certain metallurgical processings of "clarification" for example as filter, to remove organic structures, such as chlorine, gasoline, pesticides, and other poisonous chemicals in water and air.

How can you use charcoal rationally?

Charcoal will exist as early as more many years. For this purpose it is necessary to use it expediently. And properties of charcoal will appreciate up to the end. Quality of charcoal can be defined and measured by various ways. They are usually defined, considering various requirements. Efficiency in use consists in transfer of a maximum quantity of a heat of charcoal to object which will be heated. It is used for preparation, room air, or the blast furnace equipment. Efficiency depends on use properly charcoal.

Home market - less exacting for charcoal and high quality. The reasons are that performance cannot be measured easily. The power of consumers costs above the simple people. If you want to receive high quality charcoal there is a certain exchange, possible between the price and quality. Customer using charcoal for house use and receive positive results. However, it does not mean, that quality assurance is not necessary. System of qualitative use in house conditions of charcoal - a standing step to maintenance of a top yield from a wood resource. Charcoal very useful product for house use. Besides, large customers which work in the industry so long time, have experience and carry out researches, investigate charcoal and find useful properties. Requirements of consumers and quality assurance coincide. At least give guarantees, that charcoal which they use, corresponds to their specification.

In most cases, charcoal has found the application in the steelmaking or chemical industry. When charcoal is exported to many areas. Customers have possibility to use to open useful qualities of charcoal. This factor should be taken into consideration since industrial and domestic requirements are not always the same and an intelligent appraisal of actual market quality requirements may allow supply of suitable charcoal at a lower price or in greater quantities beneficial to both customer and seller.

The quality of charcoal is defined by various properties and though all are interrelated to a certain extent, they are measured and appraised separately. These various quality factors are discussed below.

Useful properties of charcoal in the industry.

Very important and useful are chemical and physical properties of charcoal. It is specially applied in the industry. The industry of metallurgy requires physical properties of charcoal; it requires physical properties of charcoal. Charcoal's physical properties influence the output of the blast furnace whereas chemical properties are more related to the amount of charcoal needed per ton of iron and the composition of the finished iron or steel.

Charcoal for a blast furnace is used as fuel at fusion threw, should be strongly compressed. It should be less compressed, than the coke made of coal and consequently blast furnaces should be calculated on capacity per coke from charcoal. Ability of resistance of the furnace to a break at fusion threw also maintenance of constant air circulation which is necessary for maintenance of productivity and uniformity of operation.

Various experiences measurement of resistance of a break have been spent; it is heavy enough to define all in objective terms. These experiences are based on measurement of resistance of charcoal to destruction or frustration, throwing the sample from height on a firm steel floor or twisting the sample in a drum to define the size of friability after specified time. Percentage expression of result is kept in various dimensional tables. Charcoal with poor shatter resistance will produce a larger percentage of fines when a sample is tested. Good charcoal is undesirable in a blast furnace as it interferes with air movement. Fragile charcoal can be broken also in weight of blocking partitions.

Useful properties of ashes.

Ashes are defined by heating of the weighed sample to critical temperature with access of air before full burning of combustible weight. The rest after burning - ashes. Ashes is a mineral, such as clay, quartz and oxide calcium and the magnesium, used in wood and agriculture as fertilizer.

The ashes maintenance in charcoal changes approximately from 0.5 % to more than 5 % depending on a version of wood and quantity of pollution in the form of sand and the earth. At high quality charcoal the approximate maintenance of ashes is equaled 3 %. Charcoal of excellent quality can have very high maintenance of ashes - approximately 5-10 %. Charcoal of excellent quality is very heavy for selling.

To reach the best results, it is necessary to burn down the given charcoal of high quality effectively. It is especially important for full combustion of charcoal, both outside and inside. Industrial furnaces for charcoal combustion, such as blast furnaces, furnaces for sintering, are usually developed for an effective utilisation and management. They will not be considered here. Main use of charcoal in house economy of the developing world for heating of water, cooking or heating of water for household needs. Charcoal also is safe for cooking on open fire in a kind frying. At cooking we use a heat allocated at charcoal combustion approximately on 30 % which have remained of 70 % are practically useless. In the countries with a cold climate the part of allocated heat is used for air heating in a room. Thus maximum use of the charcoal of heat allocated at combustion is reached.
