Abstract
In this work, charcoal making characteristics of Quercus phyllyaeoides (which has been known as one of best raw materials for charcoals) was investigated. Charcoal from Quercus phyllyaeoides had more than 85% of fixed carbon, which is 5~25% higher fixed carbon content than other charcoals. Also specific gravity of this charcoal was more than 1.0, which is quite higher than other black charcoals (average of commercial products: 0.52) or white charcoals (average of commercial products: 0.73). Methylene blue adsorption, pH, and adsorption of water vapour was lower than other commercial charcoals. Carolic value of this charcoal was similar to other commercial products. Far infrared ray's emission from this charcoal was higher than others. Application of charcoal from Quercus phyllyaeoides should be consider the characteristics of this product.
졸가시나무 탄화물에 대해 주요 기능 특성을 규명하였다. 졸가시나무 탄화물을 지금까지 보고된 탄화물들과 비교해 보면, 고정탄소율 85% 이상이었고, 비중은 1.0 이상으로 다른 상업용 흑탄이나 백탄보다 높은 경향을 나타냈다. MBA (0.73 mg/g), 흡습성 및 수소이온농도는 낮은 경향이었으며, 발열량은 비슷한 경향을 보였고, 원적외선 방사율은 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 따라서 졸가시나무 탄화물의 기능성을 이용한 사용 시는 기능 성질에 따른 선택적 사용이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.
