Charcoal production involves converting organic materials, primarily wood, into charcoal through a process called pyrolysis. This process occurs in the absence of oxygen, which prevents the wood from burning and instead transforms it into a carbon-rich substance. The resulting charcoal is lightweight, has a high energy content, and is commonly used as a fuel for cooking and heating. The production of charcoal can be done using various methods, including traditional earth mounds and modern kilns. Each method affects the efficiency and quality of the charcoal produced. Charcoal is also used in various applications, such as in filtration systems, art supplies, and even in medicine for its adsorptive properties.
