Through the market research conducted by the charcoal staff of the mechanism, I found a problem that many friends are very concerned about, that is, what are the effects of the characteristics and moisture content of charcoal? The characteristics of charcoal and the moisture content to the content and composition of the raw materials are affected by the type of wood, the carbonization process, and the deforestation and transportation. The content is generally within 6%. When charcoal is heated above the pyrolysis temperature, it will decompose volatile gases. After a few minutes of calcination at high temperature (850℃~950℃), the residual charcoal is called fixed carbon. When used under high temperature conditions, it will no longer volatilize and can take part in the reaction. It is also the main ingredient in charcoal.
Charcoal is a hydrophobic substance, and its water content is generally below 7% during normal storage. The degree of hygroscopicity is affected by the air humidity in the air and the degree of oxidation of the charcoal surface. The water absorption capacity of charcoal when it comes into contact with water depends on its structural characteristics and surface infiltration conditions, and can absorb water exceeding its own weight.
