Question

what is the difference between coal and charcoal ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Coal-

Coal is a natural mineral that forms over the span of millions of years while charcoal is a manufactured product created from wood. While coal in its natural state is never used alone in a barbeque or smoker, it is commonly added to charcoal briquettes to increase the energy density.

Charcoal-

Charcoal is carbon that is left after water and other volatile compounds are burnt off from wood (or any combustible biomass) in a low oxygen environment. This process known as pyrolysis is usually done in silos or specialised charcoal kiln and can take days to complete.

The lack of oxygen prevents the charcoal for combusting during this process which in turn prevents it from burning to ashes.

This process results in a much more energy dense fuel, charcoal, that is around a quarter of original weight.

Due to the high energy density, lump charcoal burns a lot cleaner with less smoke and much hotter than wood chunks.

hope this helped uh..!
