How to make activated carbon
Activated carbon is a type of carbon that has an increased adsorption surface area. It is also referred to as activated carbon, activated carbon or sometimes as activated carbon. In order to produce activated carbon, the carbon source is treated under certain conditions to increase its surface area and/or the number of pores. On average, the estimated surface area of one gram of activated carbon is about 500 square meters. The adsorption properties of activated carbon have a variety of uses. When a compound is brought close to this charcoal, the latter adsorbs the substance by chemical attraction. It is considered to be the most effective antidote to date. When administered early, activated charcoal can adsorb approximately 60% to 70% of ingested poisons. Due to its many advantages and multiple applications, it is produced on a large scale. Commercially, it is available in dry powder, liquid and tablet forms. Activated carbon can be manufactured at home through a ch...
