Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the physical and energetic properties of wood and charcoal obtained by carbonization of Hieronyma alchorneoides Allemão (licurana). Coal produced in family farming Biguaçu, SC, is to supplement the income. The most important results are: specific gravity of the timber presented 530 Kg m^-^³ and the gross calorific value greater of 4.315 kcal kg^-1. The coal gravimetric yield was 37% and gross calorific value was 6.740 kcal kg^-1. The wood of H. alchorneoides presents physical properties suitable for charcoal production. The charcoal showed excellent gravimetric yield.
