Abstract

This paper involves: 1) a comparison of the properties of mangrove timbers native to southern Thailand that suitable for charcoal making with that of corresponding charcoal, and 2) the results of a survey concerning methods and yield of charcoal production. The effect of wood density and other factors in charcoal making upon the yield and properties of charcoal is discussed. In addition, the effect of charcoal particle size, amount of binder, and pressure upon the density of charcoal briquette is also presented. Finally the ways to improve the methods of production of charcoal and charcoal briquette from mangrove timbers are proposed.
