How To Make Activated Carbon from Charcoal

In this video i will show you how to make activated carbon from charcoal at home.
Activated carbon is widely used in many industries, and we use it extensively in the health and food industries.
You can make water filter and air filter with carbon active.

Sorry, but that just does'nt work. Test it against the regular/"real" stuff and you'll see.

[@TekCroach]

How do you know it’s activated carbon now? What’s the scientific explanation behind it?

[@whynotdean8966]

There isn't one. Because this doesn't work.

[@remnant.watchman]

Look up Cody'sLab on KZbin.

[@poleropposits8673]

It can go boom

[@gavinlynas2833]

A coffee grinder would work wonders. Does it need to go in an oven? Wouldn't a microwave be much faster and energy efficient if the point is to remove moisture? Does it need to be ground up so finely first because if not, draining the liquid off will be much quicker and grinding can be done afterwards.

[@americanlostinvietnam3721]

It doesn't look porous. I think it's way too low of heat. Should be above 250C / 480F to 600C / 1112F when using a chemical like Calcium chloride. The carbon doesn't open and activate at 100C / 210F. FYI people. If you are consuming the charcoal, the best option is 0.5 cup of pulp free lemon or lime juice.

[@bella-bee]

Have a look at Cody’s lab He tested the ability of charcoal he’d ’activated’ with CaCl and also NaOH, and lemon juice, and a water control. They filtered out iodine to the same degree as the water treated charcoal, except the lemon, which only manage 50%. So these methods don’t work and lemon is worst! Probably because it was actually clogging the charcoal.

[@pri5495]

can you pls explain of the role calcium chloride in making the activated carbon.

[@fenokineza6259]

Be aware that calcium chloride does the same thing to charoal as pure water (nothing). Just skip all these steps and use grinded charcoal. THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO GET ACTIVATED CHARCOAL WITH SUCH SIMPLE METHODS.

the end product is of low quality. cody's lab made a superior video and a better way of creating activated carbon would be by boiling in caustic soda solution and HCl solution. the use of crude citric acid in the form of lemon juice to supposedly emulate such a process suggests a lack of understanding in chemistry, furthermore the material properties of activated carbon, its mechanism by which it completes it's function and the way by which the steps taken to synthesize the desired product achieve the specifications (that aren't established in the first place) are not explained. additionally the lack of testing on the end product to see if the desired outcome has been achieved make me firmly believe that the creator does not know what the fuck they are doing.

[@nunyabisnass1141]

@@funnyworld-dj5vf the process here doesnt work. Elemental carbon is a chemically robust/stable substance, as is calcuim chloride, and citric acid is a pretty a weak acid with no affect on pure carbon either. Since activated carbon/charcoal has been chemically etched to increase its surface area to allow particles and molecules into pores and vallies opened up from the etching process to become trapped, adding two chemicals together with such little reactive potential to carbon at the same time will not achieve the desired effect. This video and many like it are designed to fool those in the organic and homeopathic communities to spread the veiwership of this video with a fraudulent method, but listing chemicals they are already comfortable with, and lying about how easy it is. The only thing you will get from this procedure is salty lemon smelling charcoal.
