A contribution to the identification of charcoal origin in Brazil: I- anatomical characterization of corymbia and eucalyptus

Charcoal is one of the main forestry products and Brazil is the world’s largest producer. Its production from native species is estimated at 30-35% of total output. One of the major problems of the iron and steel industry is charcoal consumption, especially in terms of environmental and so...
