3. Characterization of substance
3.1 Methodology
This analysis is a characterization of the substance to determine the percentage composition,
this technique is based on the following criteria according to standard methodology.
The equipment used to perform the analysis is an elemental analyzer LECO brand CHNS932
model.
The elemental analysis is a technique that provides the total content of carbon, hydrogen,
nitrogen, and sulfur present in a range of samples of organic and inorganic nature both solid
and liquid.
The technique is based on the complete and instantaneous oxidation of the sample by
combustion in pure oxygen at a temperature of approximately 1000 ° C.
Different combustion products CO2, H2O and N2, are transported by the carrier gas (He) via a
reduction tube and then selectively separated in specific columns to be then thermally
desorbed.
Finally, the gases pass separately by a thermal conductivity detector which gives a signal
proportional to the concentration of each of the individual components of the mixture.
To perform this analysis is used as a standard acetanilide. Once the calibration line three
aliquots were taken between 0.5 and 1.0 milligrams of the previously pulverized and
homogenized sample.
The conditions have been 200mL/min analysis for the carrier gas (He), combustion temperature
1000 ° C and two oxygen dose of 15cc (3s delay) and 5cc (delay 2s), respectively.
To carry out the analysis of moisture, ash and volatile organics equipment and materials used
are:
• CWF1200 Carbolite furnace capable of reaching 1000 ° C
• Balance Ohaus Adventurer Pro Precision Precision AV213C ± 0.0001
• Capsules porcelain and glass desiccator.
The procedure conforms to that described by the UNE-EN-1860-2 by the sample pulverized
charcoal goes undergoing a heating process at different temperatures described in the
standard.

3.2 Conclusions
The results provide a carbon content charcoal médium-low, which allows complete combustion and allows the release of more energy. the sulfur content does not achieve the limit of quantification of the device, which means that charcoal is almost sulfur free, so that the determined amount of this element indicates the coal suitability for human consumption because the volatiles evolved in the combustion of coal will not have a significant content of sulfur derivatives. The rest of parameters are within the normal range, highlighting the low content of ashes,
though the humidity content is relatively high compared to other similar charcoals.

4.3 Conclusions
Regarding metal analysis review that concentrations for contaminants and heavy metals that
can potentially make the charcoal a hazardous chemical or special consideration are minimized,
since the concentrations of these metals such as arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, tin , Lead, etc..; are
very low or is below the detection limit of the device.
Only Phosphorus and Strontium show values slightly abovee what is usually normal, this may
be due to soil conditions in which stood the wood that has produced coal

Conducting tests using air greatly complicates the quantification of CO due to the overlap of
the mass 28 from the CO and N2 signals. So your were quantified by difference.
6.2. Results
It keeps track thermogram common chemical species in the release of charcoal. This graph is
shown below.
Water monitoring (H2O). The presence of water in the system below 150-200 ° C indicates
desorption humidity extracted from the surface or pores of larger coal. Moreover, the water
released from the system at higher temperatures is related to adsorbed water or small closed
pores are destroyed or opened during the process of oxidation and molecular water from
surface groups present in the coal-OH type [1.2 ].

Carbon dioxide monitoring (CO2). The figure presents a common profile of amorphous carbon,
with onset of oxidation temperatures well below normal temperatures and graphites coals
which typically range for the start of oxidation between 500-800 ° C for mineral coals [1.3] and
graphite above 700 °C. [4]. Showing in this sense better properties of oxidation (or
combustion) in comparison to the aforementioned systems.
The graph shown in the following figure shows an exothermic throughout the process, the
process is far below 750 ° C, indicating charcoal combustion [5,6]. In any case, we find typical
temperatures in the DTA curve shown in combustion of graphitic systems, whose maximum is
slightly above 800 ° C [5,6].
During the first stage, up to 100 º C has been detected an artifact that has led to a strong
fluctuation in the signal that is not real, so it is removed. Actual drift of heat flow would be
slightly upward in the first stage, since the water desorption process is slightly exothermic.

7. Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds (COV´s)
7.1 Methodology
This analysis consists in a characterization of the substances identified in the volatile matter in
the charcoal.
This technique is based on an analysis by gas chromatography detector coupled with flow
injection (FID). The methodology we have:
• A known amount of sample is extracted with a given volume of solvent.
• The extract was analyzed by gas chromatography with FID detector (flame ionization).
• The chromatographic separation was performed with a column of Phenyl Methyl
Siloxane 5% and the compounds were confirmed and quantified skilled in another
column of polyethylene glycol.
As an aside, note that the laboratory is accredited by ENAC for this methodology in charcoal
tubes, very similar matrix to the samples analyzed.
