Basics

Any form of high purity elemental carbon processed to have high porosity
Used as a more efficient/dense chemical filter/reactor compared to standard carbon sources such as charcoal
Can be produced by high temperatures, medium temperatures and steam, or chemicals
Made with Calcium Chloride - [1]
Source material is usually charred wood (charcoal) or some form of coal (coke or raw coal)
Main uses include Water Purification Medium, Ingested Poision Treatment, Chemical Reactant, Air Purification Medium, Air Filter Mask Medium, and Industrial Carbocatalysists

-Activated charcoal is used in water purification to extract unwanted chemicals (etc) from impure sources (well, stream, pond, etc.).  Wikipedia has a nice article on it.  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_carbon]  Perhaps we could produce activated charcoal as a bi-product of [[Biochar]].  The activation process increases the porosity of the carbon.
