| description | The charcoal produced in Mexico comes from different species and processes, so that its characteristics have a wide variation. The objective was to characterize the charcoal produced in the North Central region of México according to international standards of quality and energy. Three bags of nine commercial provenances of mesquite charcoal (Prosopis sp.), ebony (Ebenopsis sp.) and oak (Quercus sp.), were randomly collected. Readings were obtained for particle size, volatile material, moisture content, fixed carbon, calorific value and the elements Mg, Ca, Cu, Zn and Fe. Data were subjected to analysis of variance under a completely randomized design with four replications per bag and comparison of means were developed with Tukey test. It was found a predominance of 20 mm > X ≤ 50 mm size, only two provenances showed fragments > 100 mm. Mean values were: moisture content 5.1%, volatile material 25.9%, ash 6.3% and fixed carbon 62.7%. The highest calorific value was 27 669 kJ kg-1 and higher values for Ca (177 267 mg kg-1) and Mg (20 263 mg kg-1). Provenances 5, 7 and 8 showed more fixed carbon and volatile material. The variation was related to plant species, provenance as well as the method of production. It is necessary to improve charcoal quality according to particle size, fixed carbon and calorific value; as well as low levels for moisture content, volatile material, and ash content. The constant evaluation of these characteristics will improve the quality of the coal produced in México and facilitate its trading in the international markets. |

El carbón vegetal elaborado en México proviene de diferentes especies y procesos, por lo que sus características varían ampliamente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar el carbón vegetal producido en el Norte-Centro de México, según normas internacionales de calidad y energía. Se recolectaron al azar tres bolsas de nueve procedencias comerciales de carbón de mezquite (Prosopis sp.), ébano (Ebenopsis sp.) y encino (Quercus sp.). Se determinaron granulometría, contenido de humedad, material volátil, carbono fijo, poder calorífico y los elementos Mg, Ca, Cu, Zn y Fe. Los datos se sometieron a un análisis de varianza en un diseño completamente aleatorio con cuatro repeticiones por bolsa y comparación de medias con la prueba de Tukey. Predominó el tamaño 20 mm > X ≤ 50 mm, únicamente dos procedencias presentaron fragmentos > 100 mm. Los valores promedio fueron: contenido de humedad 5.1%, material volátil 25.9%, ceniza 6.3% y carbono fijo 62.7%. El poder calorífico más alto fue 27 669 kJ kg-1 y se registraron valores elevados de Ca (177 266.6 mg kg-1) y Mg (20 263.3 mg kg-1). Las procedencias 5, 7 y 8 presentaron más carbono fijo. La variación se relacionó con la especie y procedencia. Es necesario mejorar la calidad del carbón producido en México considerando granulometría, carbono fijo y poder calorífico, así como niveles bajos de contenido de humedad, material volátil y cenizas. La evaluación constante de estos componentes permitirá definir acciones para mejorar la calidad del carbón producido en México y facilitará su comercialización en mercados internacionales.
