Activated Carbon (also called Activated Charcoal) is a highly porous carbon material with a large surface area, used to adsorb impurities, contaminants, and pollutants from gases, liquids, and water. It is produced by carbonizing organic materials (such as coconut shells, wood, or coal) and then activating them chemically or physically to develop a highly porous structure. Activated carbon works via adsorption, where pollutants stick to its surface, effectively removing organic compounds, chlorine, color, odor, and some heavy metals.
