- Green charcoal is an
economical form of alternative fuel for home cooking and industrial
needs. It is a more viable alternative to LPG based cooking. It is a
compact solid fuel and is not actually green in color. Its name is
derived from its source rather than its appearance. It is a product of
various "grassy" or cellulosic materials and enzymes processed and
compressed into solid pieces much like conventional
charcoal.
- Charcoal is the
solid residue remaining when wood is "carbonised" or "pyrolysed" under
controlled conditions in a closed space such as a charcoal kiln. Control
is exercised over the entry of air during the pyrolysis or carbonisation
process so that the wood does not merely burn away to ashes, as in a
conventional fire, but decomposes chemically to form
charcoal.
- Briquetting or
densification is used to improve characteristics of materials for
transport and use as energy source. Raw materials include sawdust, loose
crop residues, and charcoal fines.
- The shell charcoal
is manufactured by burning shells of fully matured nuts in limited
supply of air sufficient only for carbonisation, but not for complete
destruction.
- In India the average
output in the traditional method has been found to be 35 kg of charcoal
from 1000 whole shells or about 30,000 whole shells yield 1 tonne of
charcoal.
- The characteristics
of charcoal products (lump, briquette or extruded forms) vary widely
from product to product. Thus it is a common misconception to stereotype
any kind charcoal, saying which burns hotter, etc.
- One of the most
important historical applications of wood charcoal is as a constituent
of gunpowder. It is also used in metallurgical operations as a reducing
agent, but its application has been diminished by the introduction of
coke, anthracite smalls, etc.
- Green-waste charcoal
has the potential to be used in high-value markets and sold as barbecue
fuel, a soil amendment, a digestive health aid, for steel or metal
production and to manufacture activated carbons used to purify
water.
- The markets in the
Cement City are Xipamanine, Bazar Central, Mafalala, Janet, Malhangalene
dey Povo, and Urbanizacao. Mercado Xipamanine is the largest charcoal
market; here around 70 charcoal retailers are located. At the other
markets, the number of retailers fluctuates between 15 and
35.
- At present more than
60% of the briquetting plants are located in the states of Gujarat,
Punjab and Tamil Nadu, about 30% plants are located in Uttar Pradesh,
Maharashtra and Karnataka and rest in Madhya Pradesh and Andhra
Pradesh.
