What Biomass Ingredients Are Suitable for Charcoal Production?

Choosing the right biomass raw material is key to maximizing the value of your charcoal production. The inherent properties of materials like wood, agricultural waste, and fruit shells significantly influence the final charcoal’s quality and its ideal applications. As a professional carbonization equipment manufacturer, DOING provides you with professional guidance. This article lists diverse biomass ingredients for charcoal and explores their suitability for different industrial and commercial uses.

First of all, from the perspective of hardwood raw materials, this type of wood includes oak, birch and other high-density wood. After professional carbonization, it can produce high-calorific value, low-ash high-quality charcoal, which is particularly suitable for use as high-end barbecue charcoal and metallurgical reducing agent. Its stable and long-lasting combustion characteristics also make it an ideal choice for civilian heating. In contrast, softwood raw materials such as pine and fir are easy to ignite and have low costs, but due to the high resin content, more smoke will be produced when burning. This type of charcoal is more suitable for use as fast-burning charcoal or industrial fuel, and can also be used for food smoking to give it a special flavor. Brazil, East Asia, Europe and Africa prefer hardwood as raw material for charcoal production.

Fruit shell materials such as coconut shells and olive pits will produce charcoal with extremely high hardness after carbonization. Its developed pore structure makes it the best biomass ingredients for making activated carbon, which plays an irreplaceable role in water purification, air purification and other fields. For example, the output of coconut shell charcoal in the Philippines is relatively large, and the output of Brazilian palm shell charcoal is also large. The United States, Europe and Japan produce charcoal from walnuts/olive kernels.

Although the biomass ingredients cost of agricultural waste such as straw and rice husk is extremely low, the ash content after carbonization is relatively high. This type of charcoal is mainly used for soil improvement or as industrial boiler fuel and needs to be specially treated to increase its use value.

Bamboo charcoal occupies a special position in the fields of dehumidification and health care products due to its unique adsorption properties, while sawdust charcoal, due to its granular characteristics, is mainly used as a raw material for machine-made charcoal or for making products such as mosquito coils. These types of raw materials are relatively common and are widely used in various fields around the world.
