Radon Adsorption in Charcoal [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
Radon is pervasive in our environment and the second leading cause of lung cancer induction after smoking. Therefore, the measurement of radon activity concentrations in homes is important. The use of charcoal is an easy and cost-efficient method for this purpose, as radon can bind to charcoal via Van der Waals interaction.

Variability on the energy properties of charcoal and charcoal briquettes for barbecue

Heliyon, 2022
In recent years there has been a strong increase in interest in the world of barbecues and outdoor cooking in high-income countries. Referring to FAO data, an exponential growth in imports of charcoal was observed in Europe and North America. Italy is one of the major European consumers and importers.

Charcoal Activation [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1919
Adsorption of Gases by Charcoal—Heat Effect.—The first part of this paper comprises a study of the heat effect on the adsorption of hydrogen and nitrogen by charcoal, and is a continuation of the work of Dr. Harvey B. Lemon1 in which air was used. The charcoal is heated for periods varying from one hour to twenty hours at temperatures from 400° C.

Characteristics of Charcoal Briquettes Corn Cobs Charcoal with the Addition of Areca Peel Charcoal

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021
Abstract Corn cobs and areca peel are biomass waste that can be used in the form of charcoal briquettes as an alternative source of energy because they contain lignin and cellulose. The purpose of this research was the best obtain character briquettes from a combination corn cobs charcoal and areca peel charcoal.

Coating Membranes for a Sorbent-Based Artificial Liver: Adsorption Characteristics [PDF]

, 1982
Techniques are described for the coating of sorbents to be used in an artificial liver support system based on mixed sorbent bed hemoperfusion. Activated charcoal has been coated with cellulose acetate (CA) by solvent evaporation.

Charcoal maker's pneumoconiosis

Respirology Case Reports, 2022
Key messageNegligence of health safety is common cause for occupational hazards such as charcoal maker's pneumoconiosis. This case report highlights such a case where the condition developed because of not wearing a dust mask due to the heat during production. As the condition is mostly asymptomatic, preventive measures must be encouraged.

Alkali extraction of archaeological and geological charcoal: evidence for diagenetic degradation and formation of humic acids [PDF]

, 2010
Charcoal forms a crucial source of archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data, providing a record of cultural activities, past climatic conditions and a means of chronological control via radiocarbon (¹⁴C) dating.

Rethinking fuelwood: people, policy and the anatomy of a charcoal supply chain in a decentralizing Peru [PDF]

, 2018
In Peru, as in many developing countries, charcoal is an important source of fuel. We examine the commercial charcoal commodity chain from its production in Ucayali, in the Peruvian Amazon, to its sale in the national market.

Is adding charcoal to soil a good method for CO2 sequestration? - Modeling a spatially homogeneous soil [PDF]

, 2012
Carbon sequestration is the process of capture and long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) with the aim to avoid dangerous climate change. In this paper, we propose a simple mathematical model (a coupled system of nonlinear ODEs) to capture
