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)
- We will be dealing with charcoal so most work is documented on Activated Charcoal
