what is the main use of charcol​

Sagot :

Answer:

Charcoal is produced by the incomplete combustion of plant or animal products. The major use of charcoal is for outdoor cooking. The second largest use of charcoal is in industrial applications in the form of activated charcoal. The activation process involves heating the charcoal subjecting it to steam or treating with a chemical to both remove substances that have adhered to it as well as break it down into finer particles and thus increase the surface area. Activated carbon has been used for its adsorptive properties as a ‘universal antidote’ in cases of poisonings, as a filter aid agent, and in decolorization processes.
