hello everyone.. i would like to ask if it is possible to melt the charcoal and shape it to your own design without affecting its uses like the ability to burn and its longevity?

thank you..

Does it have to be pure?  Or do barbaque briquettes suffice?

Hi
Charcoal cant be melted.It could be shaped if you finely disperse it and compress it under steam pressure at the desired shape after which it must be heated and dried. For better rezults may use some connecting pitch..

yes.. it must be pure or maybe i could put some chemical to burn it for a long period of time like the artificial charcoal (ceramic fibre charcoal). is it possible? to disperse it and compress it is the better way? what chemical i will need to increase the heat and improve its longevity? by the way, thanks for answering me..  :D

Oil is yellow because blue light of the visible spectrum is absorbed.

Oil burns with a blue flame- light emission spectrum.

Could you tell me whether we can heat up oil in the dark and then subject it to UV such that we can get oil to glow blue?

Curious to know everything about oil.
