What's the usage of charcoal in industrial production?

The charcoal produced by wood briquette machine is getting more and more popular now. Because of its low cost and long burning time, the charcoal can be applied in all aspects of life and industrial production. In addition, charcoal produced by wood briquette machine has great influence on the metallurgical industry, the manufacture of carburizing agent, the production of carbon disulfide and the press of charcoal brick.

1. Metallurgical industry
The pig iron that charcoal smelts generally has fine grain structure, close casting with no crack. The impurity it contains is little that it is suits to produce high grade steel. In the production of non-ferrous metal, charcoal is often used as surface fluxing agent. When nonferrous metal is fused, surface fluxing agent forms a protective layer on the surface of molten metal to separate the metal from the gas medium.
Besides, charcoal is also used in the production of crystal silicon. The charcoal used in the production of crystal silicon should not contain raw carbon head or excessive ash content.
 
2. Carburizing agent manufacturing
All steel products that require high hardness and wear resistance of the surface and good toughness of the center need to be carburized. The carbon containing mixture used to carburize steel products is called carburizer. The carburizing effect of pure charcoal is poor. Therefore, charcoal is often used as raw material, and a certain amount of contact agent is added to make the carburizing agent.
 
3. Carbon disulfide production
Charcoal is a good raw material for making carbon disulfide. The charcoal used in carbon disulfide production should be hard with large volume, small content of ash and moisture and high content of fixed carbon. (How to make activated charcoal from briquettes?)
 
4. Suppression of charcoal brick
The use of crushed charcoal is limited and difficult to transport, and the pressed charcoal bricks can turn small pieces of charcoal into high-quality fuel. Charcoal brick has the advantages of low moisture absorption and water absorption, high specific gravity, high calorific value and high mechanical strength in the process of use. The burnt charcoal brick is smokeless and produces no dust. It can be used in metallurgy and mobile gasifier.
