What is self-burning coal?

Coal, also called "compressed coal", is a type of solid fuel produced from plant waste and wood. This type of charcoal is produced by compressing and shaping natural materials without adding any chemicals.
Self-burning coal has many advantages. First, self-burning coal is a stable fuel with high thermal power. This means that it can produce fuel and heat for a long time. Secondly, self-burning coal is a clean and environmentally friendly fuel. Self-burning coal burns almost smoke-free and without pollutants, which means reducing air pollution and preserving the environment. also, self-burning coal is a portable and storable fuel and can be easily used in different places.

Coal is used in many applications, including for heating homes and buildings, cooking, grilling and barbecuing, as well as in various industries such as power generation and iron and steel production.
As a consumer, when purchasing charcoal, it is best to make sure that the charcoal you are purchasing is from sustainable, managed sources and does not contain any added chemicals. Also, to burn self-burning charcoal, it is better to use smokeless and well-ventilated machines and make sure of your safety.In some countries, by adding a layer of sulfur and sparking compounds to the top coating of coal, it is possible to light coal without flammable gel and materials petroleum with the mechanism of a firecracker And Bright to do procedure foreign coal bright to total coal particles for direct object creation shows that procedure control done and safety particle for the direct object has it and Supervision organizations safety and standard every country Production done and to the consumer be offered.

What is self-burning coal?

Self-burning charcoal is a new type of charcoal that is made with new technology and burns without smoke or odour. This charcoal is suitable for cooking and does not need to be fanned. Self-burning coal is produced by removing hydrogen and oxygen from ordinary coal, and for this reason, it is highly interested in absorbing oxygen. By absorbing oxygen from the environment, self-igniting charcoal ignites with a spark and lasts for a long time.
Self-burning coal is not according to what is defined in Iran, and unfortunately, some abusers in coal production by adding petroleum materials and petrochemical waste or alcohol waste to coal have contaminated the coal with toxic and dangerous substances that release gases when burning. Toxic causes toxicity in the barbecue. The use of charcoal in cooking and grilling is noticed because of the good taste that charcoal gives to food, but now adding chemicals and petrochemicals and petrochemical waste to charcoal (which is common in Iran), causes the consumer to be unsure of the real mission is charcoal.

How to make self-igniting charcoal

The process of making self-burning coal or compressed coal generally includes several steps. In the following, we briefly describe these steps:

1. Collection of raw materials:
First, you need to collect raw materials such as plant waste and wood. These materials can be from different sources such as forests, agriculture and industry.

2. Crushing:

Collected materials should be crushed to smaller sizes. This can be done using chippers, grinders and other machines.

3. Drying:

After crushing, the materials should be dried to reduce their moisture content. This step can be done by hot air dryers, light dryers or industrial dryers.

4. Mixing:

The dried ingredients should be mixed to have a uniform composition. Special mixers and mills are used for this.

5. Compression:

The mixture of dried materials should be compacted to form compacted charcoal. This step can be done using hydraulic or mechanical compression devices.

6. Final drying:

After compaction, the dried coal must be finally dried to reduce its moisture content. This step can be done using industrial dryers or at room temperature.

7. Packaging and supply to the market:

Dry and compressed coal should be placed in proper packaging and marketed. This packaging may include plastic bags, cartons or other packaging.

In general, the process of making self-igniting charcoal is relatively simple and it is possible to produce self-igniting charcoal using simple equipment and available raw materials.

 

Advantages of self-burning coal

Coal is a very useful energy source and has many advantages. Some of these benefits include:

High heat production capability: self-burning coal has very high thermal power and can be used for heating large and small spaces, water heating and steam production.

Easy portability: Self-burning charcoal is easily portable due to its compaction and drying. This makes it possible to use it in remote areas without access to the power grid.

Reasonable price: Self-burning coal has a more reasonable price than other energy sources such as natural gas and oil due to the use of available raw materials and a simple production process.

Sustainability and Long Life: Coal has a long life and can be used for a longer period than other energy sources.

Reducing dependence on fossil fuels: Using self-burning coal can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, thereby helping to preserve the environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Ability to be used in various industries: self-burning coal can be used in various industries such as steel, cement, brick making, etc., and meet the thermal needs of these industries.

Availability and easy replacement: Self-burning coal, unlike other energy sources such as oil and gas, can be easily produced and replaced and can be produced quickly if needed.

In general, self-burning coal is an economical, portable and sustainable energy source that can be used in industries and homes to meet heating needs.

 

Disadvantages of self-burning coal

The use of self-burning coal is associated with some problems and disadvantages, which include:

• pollution Air:

Self-igniting coal can produce polluting gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide when burning. These gases can lead to air pollution and respiratory problems.

• Creation of the dangerous fire:

Self-igniting charcoal can increase the risk of fire if it is used incorrectly and if safety principles are not followed. This issue can lead to physical and financial damages.

• Production Particles suspended:

Self-burning coal fuel may produce particulate matter that can act as air pollutants and be harmful to human health.

• Release Gases a greenhouse:

Coal fuel contains carbon and can produce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide when burned. These gases lead to global warming and climate change.

• Consumption Water Top:

The process of self-burning coal extraction and production requires high water consumption. This issue can threaten water resources and cause problems in areas that are facing water shortages.

• Production Wastes Garbage:

The use of self-burning coal leads to the production of waste residues that require proper management and disposal. If these wastes are not managed properly, they can lead to water and soil pollution.

Producing self-igniting charcoal by adding alcohol to charcoal is unsafe and very dangerous work that has caused fires in warehouses and places where this type of charcoal is stored; During lighting, due to the accumulation of methanol alcohol vapors in the packaging and the high volatility of liquid alcohol on the charcoal, it caused rapid ignition and an explosive state, which caused irreparable accidents such as burning people's hands and faces.

In general, the use of self-burning coal is associated with environmental and health problems, which must be reduced by observing the principles of safety and optimal use. Also, the use of cleaner and environmentally friendly energy sources is always recommended.

Application of self-burning Coal

Some of the uses and benefits of self-burning coal are:

Cooking: self-igniting charcoal is suitable for barbecuing, grilling, and other foods that require fire. After the initial lighting, this charcoal stays lit for a long time and does not need to be fanned. Also, this charcoal is smoke-free, odourless and gas-free and does not affect the taste of food.

Hookah: Some people also use self-burning charcoal to smoke hookah. This charcoal makes your hookah smell less and smoke less. Also, this coal is more durable and does not need to be replaced. Of course, using self-igniting charcoal for hookah, due to the presence of chemicals in charcoal (methanol, etc.), may irritate, causing headaches and lethargy.

Industry: self-burning coal is also used in various industries such as steelmaking, glazing, ceramics, etc. This coal with high temperature, ability to absorb oxygen and no ash production, offers better quality and cleaner products.

Self-burning coal in Iran

Over the past few years, profit-seeking and ignorant people have tried to invent a new type of coal called self-burning coal by abusing the lack of strong or restraining laws and the lack of supervision of coal consumption, by adding petrochemical and oil waste to the natural coal packaging, They have engaged in a dangerous and unsafe work that has caused irreparable damage and accidents to consumers. The production process of this type of coal, in which petrochemical materials such as methanol and alcohol and petrochemical waste are poured into the coal package in liquid form during packaging, and the coal is absorbed over time., It causes material and spiritual losses in several ways. Among the disadvantages of self-burning coal, which is named as self-burning coal in Iran, we can mention the following important things:

1- Methanol is a toxic and dangerous product, which penetrates the charcoal and causes the creation of carcinogenic aldehydes in the body, when the charcoal is lit, it is not removed completely, and it is absorbed by the meat during grilling, causing poisoning and causing cancer.

2- The alcohol that is enclosed inside the package has evaporated due to heat and the passage of time and collects inside the package and forms an explosive charcoal package that explodes with the slightest impact or spark and causes a fire in the seller's warehouse. Many reports of such incidents have been published over the past years. It is recommended to use standard fire gel products, which are reliable and controlled by having the standard mark and approval of the standards organization and the drug and food organization.

3- In the world self-burning coal is called a good and safe product according to the definition made at the beginning of the article, but in our country, some abusers use natural coal mixed with fuel and dangerous explosive materials as They have introduced the title of self-burning coal, which, due to the high evaporability properties of petroleum and petrochemical materials poured into the package, evaporates over time and comes out of the coal package. The customer, thinking that a package of charcoal is self-starting and does not need ignition gel to light it, and paid a higher price, after opening the package, realizes that the contents inside have evaporated and the charcoal is practically non-flammable, which causes Harm to the consumer and nature.

4- The storage of this product is very risky and many incidents and fires have been reported in the warehouses of the goods depot over the past years, since the distributors keep many diverse products in their warehouses, in case of fire due to the presence of such dangerous goods and Insecurity in the warehouse increases the degree of risk in fire insurance and insurance companies refuse to pay damages to the insurer due to the existence of such goods.

Therefore, it is suggested that broadcasting companies, before deciding to add such a product to the basket of distribution goods, must be aware of the above-mentioned consequences and risks, consult with their fire insurance consultant and be aware of the material and spiritual consequences of this work; Because the producers of this product, because of their profit, they never sell a carcinogenic product knowingly or unknowingly about material and spiritual losses and do not publish information based on the harmfulness of this product.
