Charcoal Properties
Dear friends: terra preta is fascinating in part because it involves so many disciplines. My viewpoint is that of a fuel scientist/chemical engineer.
My laboratory produces well-characterized charcoals for a wide variety of research endeavors, including carbon fuel cell studies, metallurgical charcoal applications, activated carbon production, and terra preta research (with my colleagues Dr. Goro Uehara, Dr. Jonathan Deenik, and Tai McClellan in the University of Hawaii

5 comments postedgud day sir.. i am doing a research about some waste products which can be used as construction materials.. i would just like to ask if i can substitute charcoal ash as a fine aggregate in mixing a concrete..? i have read that the fly ash and bottom ash can be used. If so, what are its properties which are the same with the bottom/fly ash?
Hoping for your reply sir.. Thank you...
Hello,
I would be interested in the results mentioned here:
"Tests by my colleague Professor Goro Uehara and his co-workers in CTAHR have shown that the addition of some charcoals to the soil can be harmful to plant growth. Our analyses of the properties of this
Hi there,
I am interested in the work from Uehara and co-workers that is mentioned here. Now, I looked in the CTAHR website and in the sci. literature and could not find any publication related to this work.
Relating the effect of a given biochar and its structural/chemical properties would be of great value, to help with the optimisation of processes and usage of a given charcoal. Has this work been published in some journal that I would have missed ?
Sir:
i just read your article regarding the properties of charcoal, can the charcoal as be a partial substitute to cement, like the fly ash, or the silica fume?
if yes, what mineral properties in charcoal ash that is similar to cement?
Thank you and hope you will reply to my querries.

sir, did you find your answer to your question? if so, can i ask if charcoal can be a partial sub for cement? i really need this for my research..
Hoping for your reply sir..tnx
