Char is the solid material that remains after light gases and tar have been driven-out or released from a carbonaceous material, during the initial stage of combustion, which is known as carbonization, charring, devolatilization or pyrolysis. Further stages of efficient combustion (with or without char deposits) are known as gasification reactions, ending quickly when the reversible gas phase water gas shift reaction reaches. Moreover char may be defined as the part of land which was previously under the river and raised out due to reduction of water equilibrium.
