• Description: The first use of charcoal comes from the black pigment used in European cave paintings around 32 000 years ago. It is possible that the earliest use of charcoal as a fuel in the smelting of copper began over 7000 years ago. The first definite evidence of human involvement with charcoal as a fuel goes back to 5500 years ago in the Middle East and Southern Europe, when the Egyptians, who were expert metal workers, discovered the smelting of iron using charcoal.
• Uses: Charcoal has been used since the earliest times for several of purposes, including medicine and art, but by far its most important use has been as a metallurgical, cooking, industrial, and automotive fuel. Charcoal is used as a conventional fuel where an intense heat is wanted. Charcoal was also used historically as a source of carbon black in chemical reactions by grinding it up. In this form charcoal was a constituent of formulas for mixtures such as gunpowder and was important to early chemists. Due to its high surface area, charcoal can be used as a catalyst, a filter, or an adsorbent.
