Description
Activated charcoal consists of high density skeleton carbon structures which absorb contaminants and toxins and purify. Activated charcoal is used for treating water and in cosmetics such as toothpaste, masks and scrubs.
Often referred to by its more scientific name, activated carbon, activated charcoal is a natural material rich in carbon whereby the pores of the charred material have been opened through a steam activation process, increasing the carbons surface area. Activated carbon is characterised by its high porosity and adsorptive capabilities. Through adsorption, activated carbon can effectively remove a range of contaminants and impurities from liquid and air streams.
