Production & Sourcing
Activated charcoal is made through a process called activation, which involves heating carbon-rich materials, such as wood, coconut shells, or peat, at high temperatures in the presence of an activating agent, such as steam or chemicals. This process removes impurities and creates a highly porous structure with a large surface area. The resulting material is then cooled, ground into a fine powder, and treated to further enhance its adsorption properties.
