In the industry field, machine - made charcoal is used to produce carbon disulfide and steel smelting. Charcoal is also used as a fuel for boiler, which is similar to the density of the coal, heat value 5500--7000 kcal / KG, but ash content is significantly lower than coal.

All in all, charcoal is internationally recognized green environmental protection product which has high density, high carlorific value, smokeless, tasteless, no pollution, no explosion, combustible.
Charcoal quality indicators are: carbon content> 85%, the carlorific value> 7000Kcal, ash <5%, volatile matter <15%, moisture <4%, no impurities, smokeless and odorless, burning time> 3 hours, charcoal outside diameter 50-80mm, inner diameter 15-20mm
