Hard Charcoal

Hard charcoal, often referred to as industrial charcoal, is a type of charcoal produced through the carbonization of wood or other organic materials in the absence of oxygen. This process results in a high-carbon content product with several key characteristics:

• High Carbon Content: Industrial hard charcoal typically has a high fixed carbon content, which makes it an efficient fuel source.
• Low Moisture and Volatile Matter: It has low moisture content and minimal volatile matter, enhancing its burning efficiency and reducing smoke production.
• High Density and Hardness: This type of charcoal is denser and harder compared to other forms, making it suitable for industrial applications where durability is essential.
• High Energy Density: It provides a high energy output per unit weight, making it ideal for use in metallurgical processes and other high-energy applications.

Hard charcoal is commonly used in industries such as metallurgy, where it serves as a reducing agent in the production of metals, and in the production of activated carbon.
