| Bamboo charcoal is a porous carbon capable of absorbing impurities in water. Aside from being an efficient water purifier, bamboo charcoal also contains large quantities of natural inorganic compounds absorbed from the soil during its growth, that in turn give drinking water a refreshing flavor. Bamboo charcoal has many uses in our living environment, including air purification, relative humidity adjustment, electromagnetic risk reduction, and emitting far-infrared rays. Bamboo charcoal is regarded by many to be an indispensable material, possessing numerous benefits effective in the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.
Bamboo charcoal is used for soil improvement in agriculture, wastewater purifier in livestock industry, feed additives, waste deodorant, pot plant compost, growth promoting agents of crop plants, raise the survival rate of plants in nursery planting, raise the ratio of well-formed plants in nurseries, and increase soil aeration to benefit the respiration of plant roods, a weapon for increasing agriculture and livestock production yield.
Bamboo charcoal can be made into activated charcoal, with greater porous surface area than other active charcoals made from other materials. Active charcoal has many applications in both traditional and hi-tech industries, and is used as decoloring agent, a deodorant, wastewater purification, food additives (natural coloring), intermediate in chemical synthesis, a grinding agent, a de-sulfuring agent, germicide, etc. One of the most important recent discoveries is the bamboo charcoal ultra-capacitor, using the high specific surface of active charcoal to absorb chemical substances and give full reign to its high conductivity, considered to be a refined high-tech product.
Taiwan bamboo charcoal is made from ripe high quality bamboos grown in high mountains, using a special oven to steam it at 600 degrees Celsius or above, resulting in a high quality bamboo charcoal. A precious by-product of the manufacturing process of bamboo charcoal is bamboo distillate. Bamboo distillate is characterized by its strong acidity and smoke odor. The distillate contains more than 200 components, which vary with the conditions of manufacture, time of collection, and methods of refinement. Bamboo distillate can be used in medicine, cosmetics, health food, insect repellents, growth promoting agents of crop plants, deodorant, feed additives, composts and soil improvement, creating a high quality living environment to mankind.
