WHAT DOES WHITE COAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

White coal

White coal is a form of fuel produced by drying chopped wood over a fire. It differs from charcoal which is carbonised wood. White coal was used in England to smelt lead ore from the mid-sixteenth to the late seventeenth centuries. It produces more heat than green wood but less than charcoal and thus prevents the lead evaporating. White coal could be used mixed with charcoal for other industrial uses than lead smelting. White coal was produced in distinctive circular pits with a channel, known as Q-pits. They are frequently found in the woods of South Yorkshire. Nowadays white coal is made from ▪ Groundnut shells ▪ Cotton hulls and salks ▪ Castor seed shells ▪ Forest leaves; wood chips and shavings ▪ Sugarcane bagasse ▪ Rice husk and paddy straw ▪ Mustard waste ▪ Coir dust ▪ Coffee husk ▪ Sunflower waste ▪ Maize stalks ▪ Bajra cobs ▪ Sesame seeds oil cake ▪ Wheat straw Benefits of white coal: ▪ White coal is cheaper than coal and fire wood. ▪ There is no sulphur in the white coal, therefore no toxic gases. ▪ Moisture content is nil. ▪ Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value.
