The residue, primarily carbon, from the partial combustion of wood or other organic matter
Chared wood or other dense organic matter used as fuel Charcoal is manufactured from wood by heating it in a controlled fire with insufficient oxygen to completely burn the wood that drives off the water, volatiles and light elements The result is mostly porus carbon Charcoal burns hot and clean leaving a light white ash For thousands of years it was used as fuel for everything including smelting and melting metals, fueling blacksmith forges and cooking "Charcoal" briquetts sold for barbeques are made from a mixture of ground charcoal, sawdust and bituminous coal bonded with a starch glue It is generally not suitable for fueling blacksmith's forge Real charcoal is sold in bulk for use in resturants Charcoal is also made from charing bones This produces "bone black" used in artists paints and is also recommended for case hardening
The traditional fuel in iron smelting and blacksmithing Charcoal is produced by burning wood slowly to drive off water and other substances A professional charcoal makr is called a collier
{i} carbon prepared by imperfect burning; piece of charcoal used for drawing; charcoal drawing
Material resulting from charring of biomass, usually retaining some of the microscopic texture typical of plant tissues; chemically it consists mainly of carbon with a disturbed graphitic structure, with lesser amounts of oxygen and hydrogen See: Black carbon; Soot particles (Source: Charlson and Heintzenberg, 1995, p 402 )
(fos) (gen) A dark-colored or black porous form of CARBON made from vegetable or animal substances Charcoal commonly is made by charring wood in a KILN or RETORT from which air is partially excluded It is used for FUEL, and in various mechanical, artistic, and chemical processes By using DISTILLATION and retorts to produce charcoal, several valuable products can be collected that would otherwise be lost, including COMBUSTIBLE GASes, CREOSOTE OIL, METHANOL, soluble tar, and combustible pitch F - charbon de bois S - carbon
Charcoal drawing is easier than oil painting, but both are harder than I thought. - Karakalem çizimi yağlıboyadan daha kolay, ama ikisi de düşündüğümden daha zor.
