La carbonisation du charbon consiste à le chauffer un peu au-dessus de 1000 °C pour dégager des sous-produits : gaz et vapeurs condensables (benzol et goudrons) et obtenir le coke. D'ailleurs tout combustible hydrocarburé (houille, tourbe, bois, pétrole) peut être, par carbonisation, transformé en un produit solide plus carburé [...]. Les cokes sont les résidus solides de la carbonisation (ou distillation) de certaines houilles grasses ou demi-grasses. 3, record 3, French, - carbonisation
