EVALUATION OF CSC CHARCOAL FOR PRODUCTION OF DRY COMBUSTION PLASMA

Evaluation of CSC charcoal by standard thermoanalytical techniques sho ws that the dry material contains greater than or similar to 99% carbo n having calorific value of about 16.32 mJ/kg; its hydrogen and ash co ntents are insignificant. On admixture with small amount of K2CO3 (see d for generation of combustion plasma) its combustion characteristics remain more or less unaltered though the combustion rates are greatly enhanced.
