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
