Carbonization of sawdust at 538 degrees gave charcoal useful as smokeless fuel; yield and calorific value (CV) of the fuel gas increased when the gases, tar, and pyroligneous liquor from carbonization were subjected to thermal cracking on firebrick, semicoke, or charcoal. When semicoke or charcoal was used, the tar and pyroligneous liquor were completely decomposed and the yield and CV of gaseous products obtained were higher than those obtained by cracking over firebrick.
