This article is about the substance consisting of mostly carbon. For the typeface, see Charcoal (typeface). For the Marvel Comics character, see Charcoal (comics)
Charcoal is the blackish residue consisting of impure carbon obtained by removing water and other volatile constituents from animal and vegetation substances. Charcoal is usually produced by heating wood, sugar, bone char, or others substances in the absence of oxygen (see char). The soft, brittle, lightweight, black, porous material resembles coal and is 85% to 98% carbon with the remainder consisting of volatile chemicals and ash. | See more at Wikipedia.org... |
