Statement: ΔH° = +172 kJ/mol applies to charcoal (amorphous carbon) vs. graphite

Needs verification (non-blocking)

JANAF tables are for graphite as the reference state. The enthalpy of amorphous carbon (charcoal) differs slightly from graphite (~1–3 kJ/mol difference in carbon standard enthalpy). For the purposes of ironmaking thermodynamics this difference is negligible, but for precise thermochemical calculations a correction should be applied.
