This process may also be referred to as destmctive distillation. It has been appHed to a whole range of organic materials, more particularly to natural products such as wood (qv), sugar (qv), and vegetable matter to produce charcoal (see Fuels frombiomass). However, in the present context, coal usually yields coke, which is physically dissimilar from charcoal and appears with the more familiar honeycomb-type stmcture (27). 

There are two main varieties of carbon (i) crystalline (e.g., graphite and diamond), and (ii) amorphous. The amorphous variety consists of carbon blacks and charcoals. Carbon blacks are nonporous fine particles of carbon produced by the combustion of gaseous or liquid carbonaceous material (e.g., natural gas, acetylene, oils, resins, tar, etc.) in a limited supply of air. Charcoals are produced by the carbonization of solid carbonaceous material such as coal, wood, nut shells, sugar, synthetic resins, etc. at about 600 °C in the absence of air. The products thus formed have a low porosity, but when activated by air, chlorine, or steam, a highly porous material is produced this porous product is called activated charcoal. Chemically speaking carbon blacks and charcoals are similar, the difference being only in physical aspects. Carbon blacks find use in the rubber industry and in ink manufacture. An important use of charcoals is as adsorbents. 

Below 240°C intimate mixtures with sugar charcoal undergo exothermic decomposition, while mild explosions occur above 240° C.

Charcoal and Activated Carbon Tiselius used charcoal for the frontal analysis of sugars, amino acids and other substances. Charcoal absorbs strongly aromatic substances, such as amino acids, which may be explained by virtue of the fact that the carbon-carbon spacings in graphite are almost of the same order as those present in benzene. Charcoal is also employed for the adsorption of fatty acids. 

Extractable matter should be removed by extraction with organic solvents, e.g., xylene. This is especially important for carbon blacks (25), Oxidized carbon may contain small amounts of oxalic acid. King (33, 34) found 0.002 meq/gm of oxalic acid in oxygen-treated sugar charcoal. More severe is the contamination of the surface with adsorbed gases, mainly carbon dioxide and water. Activated carbon with narrow pores may contain considerable amounts of carbon dioxide (28). The best...
