Bamboo Charcoal Manufacturing Business. Production of Activated Charcoal from Bamboo
Bamboo charcoal powder consists of pieces of bamboo plants, which are harvested after a minimum of five years. It is manufactured using the pyrolysis or carbonization process, which usually consists of heat treatment at the temperature of 800°C to 1200°C. The process imparts high adsorption properties to the bamboo charcoal powder, thus making it useful for a wide range of applications. Bamboo charcoal powder can attract and hold a variety of materials, minerals, chemicals, humidity, radio waves, odors, and other substances. Thus, it provides these materials with healing and detoxification characteristics. The use of bamboo charcoal powder is also popular because it is an environmentally-friendly product.
Bamboo charcoal can be used as household fuel for heating and cooking, as well as in a range of purification and absorption applications, such as purifying drinking water, in air filters, in mattresses and pillows as a deodorizer, and for certain industrial purification uses. Bamboo vinegar, a by-product of the manufacturing process, is also used as an ingredient in health products.
