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 1, French, - carbonisation

D'après l'Encyclopaedia Universalis, 1984, volume 4, page 219, on parle de carbonisation à basse température lorsque le charbon est carbonisé à des températures allant de 500 à 700 °C et de carbonisation à haute température lorsqu'il est carbonisé à des températures supérieures à 1 100 °C. 5, record 1, French, - carbonisation

Carbonisation à basse température. Au cours des cinquante dernières années, de nombreux essais ont été entrepris en vue de carboniser le charbon à des températures relativement basses : 500 à 700 °C, au lieu des températures de plus de 1 100 °C que l'on utilise dans les fours à coke traditionnels. [...] Les procédés avaient pour objet initial la production de combustibles liquides à partir d’un charbon de qualité secondaire inapte à la carbonisation à haute température. On obtenait du semi-coke et, comme sous-produits, des goudrons riches en phénols, crésols et huiles légères, une essence brute aromatique, des eaux ammoniacales que l'on transformait en sulfate d’ammonium, des gaz riches dont le pouvoir calorifique supérieur dépassait 20 kJ/m³. 4, record 2, French, - carbonisation%20%C3%A0%20basse%20temp%C3%A9rature
