What are the factors that affect the quality of charcoal?
Charcoal is a high-quality fuel and an excellent fuel for barbecues and chafing dishes. Because of its unique structure and strong adsorption capacity, it is also widely used in the fields of food, medicine, chemical industry, metallurgy, national defense, agriculture and environmental protection.
So what are the factors that affect the quality of charcoal in the process of charcoal production?
Firstly, the carbon content of raw materials.
The carbon content of raw materials determines the carbon content of charcoal. The higher the carbon content, the more heat will be released when charcoal burns. Therefore, it is very important to choose raw materials with high carbon content, such as coconut shells and fruit trees.
Secondly, the humidity of raw materials should be moderate.
The humidity of raw materials should be kept between 8% and 12%. If the humidity of raw materials is too high, it will not be easy to form. If the humidity is low, the wooden stick is easy to crack, and the wooden stick made is not beautiful. So, if you master the drying humidity, you can make carbon rods.
Thirdly, choose a good quality machine.
To make charcoal, the raw materials need to be pressed first, and the sticks produced by a good briquette machine are compact, which is the basis for making high-quality charcoal. Biomass rod products need to be carbonized at high temperature for a long time, so the quality of carbonizing furnace is also very important. In the process of carbonization, the temperature of the carbonizing furnace should be guaranteed to rise above 300 degrees, because the wood material will be thermally decomposed when it reaches above 300 degrees. Finally, charcoal was formed.
Last but not the least, the whole firing process is also a condition that affects its quality.
The chemical composition and burning time of charcoal are closely related to a series of chemical and physical changes during the burning process.
