Coconut shell charcoal is widely used as domestic and industrial fuel. It is also used by blacksmiths, goldsmiths and in laundries. Shell charcoal is the raw material for Activated Carbon which can absorb certain molecular species.
Production Process
It is produced by burning the shells of fully matured coconuts in a limited supply of air which is sufficient only for carbonization, but not for the complete destruction of shells. We are doing it by traditional pit method. This charcoal is then powdered, binded using natural gums, and pressed into briquettes or any desired shapes and sizes
