Charcoal powder is a fine black substance made from carbonized wood or coconut shells, widely used in agarbatti (incense stick) production. It plays a crucial role in ensuring even and consistent burning, making incense last longer with steady smoke. Being odorless, it does not interfere with the fragrance of essential oils or herbs, allowing pure aromatic diffusion. Its eco-friendly nature, often derived from natural sources, makes it a sustainable choice. The powder also produces minimal ash, keeping the surroundings clean and mess-free. Additionally, it enhances fragrance release, ensuring a rich and long-lasting aroma in the air. Charcoal powder is a key component in various incense forms, including dhoop and cones. Its ability to improve combustion without harmful chemicals makes it ideal for religious, spiritual, and therapeutic uses. Overall, it is an essential ingredient for high-quality incense production.
Coconut Shell Charcoal: Production and Applications
Coconut shell charcoal is produced by carbonizing mature coconut shells with limited air supply to prevent complete burning. This process has grown into an economically significant activity, as shell charcoal is a valuable raw material for activated carbon production. Two main types of shell charcoal exist: standard coconut shell charcoal and granulated shell charcoal.
Activated Carbon Production
Activated carbon is derived by heating shell charcoal with steam at 900 °C- 1100 °C, creating a porous structure ideal for adsorption. Temperature control is critical, as low temperatures slow the process, and high temperatures reduce efficiency.
