Usage: commonly used in chemistry, materials science, and industrial processes
2. plural of carbonization; the conversion of organic material into a carbon-rich residue or fossil through geological processes.
Usage: used in geology and paleontology

Examples

• The carbonizations of wood samples revealed different temperatures used in the kiln.
• Multiple carbonizations of the coal precursor produced varying grades of coke.
• Fossil carbonizations in the sedimentary rock provided evidence of ancient plant life.
• The laboratory conducted several carbonizations to test the material's thermal resistance.
• Industrial carbonizations of organic waste help reduce landfill volume.
• Paleontologists studied the carbonizations of insects preserved in amber.
