- 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.

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.
What did you wash the charcoal with please. How much charcoal is used with the CACL solution? After the charcoal was sieved, there were small and large pieces. What is the significance of this step and what are the qualities of the large and small pieces?
Gee, when I made my first batch, I didn't think of wetting it first before breaking it up, I did use a strainer to eliminate the dust though. Since I already bought the Aqua Tech carbon stuff first, I'm gonna use both separating the layers with play sand and see how it goes....?
can i use a citric acid and water solution instead of lemon juice
Hello, I was wondering what if we reflux it with nitric acid? Will it work? Can you explain please
can you pls explain of the role calcium chloride in making the activated carbon.
Can we use this ativate carbon in gold cyanation process?
Which is better the power one or the charcoal bits?
Can I use coconut charcoal for this?
Quiet Easy & Very Expensive Process.
Can i use blender to make it powder.
I have one question please please answer me. I bought a charcoal from shop so it is necessary to follow these steps for activated it? Or i just powder it and cover it and then put it in my sump
Charcoal has a low absorption rate, and if you want the filtration to be done correctly, you must activate it.
Thanku so much
Can i use citric acid
Please, what do you mean for "activated carbon" ?
Wow amazing
Sir , how much charcoal we use in process
Can you share the quantity of coal lemon juice and water?
After sieving the activated charcoal do you mix the two together
Or is it the powder one that comes out of the sieve that's the activated charcoal or the other one
All the charcoal in the solution is activated. sieving only to separate activated Carbon powder from coarser grains.
With larger parts, you can make an activated carbon filter for water, and you can use activated carbon powder to make a face mask, make cosmetics and use it in food.
@@CreativePeoples Thank you
@@CreativePeoples Thank you
This music tho
you gave your color

..the best of you.
Hi can i use wood charcoal for this process and one more can i use in the cosmetic
Charcoal is made from wood, coal is made from rocks.
LMAO came for the activated charcoal and got distracted with the song artist, lol Now have both & wow I know a lot of the songs. Now back to activated charcoal
Can you use charcoal brickets if they are washed...then use lemon and dry?
Sir how much carbon should be taken for lab testing..approx?
How much carbon and how much calcium chloride..amount?
1:3
Aweee video, one question, i see you used calcium chloride flakes, what difference would it make if it was a calcium chloride solution?
Awesome*
There is no difference. You can use the solution, but you must consider the concentration of the solution.
So is this sold at drugstores?
different subject, but i can tell from your hands that you either word with your hands a lot or you do a type of sport/exercise that involves gripping
What was that white thing ?
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.
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.
Fantastic tutorial. Can I use citric acid instead of Calcium Chloride?
Calcium choloride is good,but zncl2 may be toxic
@@deepthakariyawasam7472 i eat citric acid
Well explained, informative, nice video. Thanks. How much-activated carbon we may have used 300 ml water and 100 g calcium chloride solution?
Exactly zero. The video is just clickbait.
@@nunyabisnass1141 q
@@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.
Is it also called carbon?
Put a vet cloth underneath the mortar, will make it easier as it will stand stilll.

Good looking out cousin✌️
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I learned a lot. ❤️
There are more uses of charcoal. Thanks for informative videos....
nice
Anyone know how to make electrostaticlly charged carbon? The only way (not even distillation works) to remove the chemically bonded chlorine and ammonia compound now in our drinking water, that we have to remove via more chemicals (for certain aquarium uses) and or electrostaticlly charged charcoal/carbon filtration?!!!
Thanks, now it's time to create diamonds
Well explained, informative, nice video. Thanks. How much activated carbon we may have using 300 ml water and 100 g calcium chloride solution? How much lemon juice can be used instead of calcium chloride? Please reply
Use Nacl .
“Well explained”??? Wasn’t explained at ALL???? We all had lots of Qs like you...

May I know why you don't answer the original posters question?
Great! Can we use this as filter media in aquarium?
Yes it was but dont use sodium cloride
Is it okay to sun dry the carbon solution pls reply
Sunlight does not provide the heat needed to activate carbon, but can be used to reactivate carbon.
@@CreativePeoples thank you
WHY NOT REMOVE THE "STUPID" MUSIC AND KEEP THE TEXT A LITTLE LONGER
SO IT CAN BE READ NORMALLY.
How do you know it’s activated carbon now? What’s the scientific explanation behind it?
There isn't one. Because this doesn't work.
Look up Cody'sLab on TH-cam.
It can go boom
I don’t have anything that can withstand 2 h in the oven could this work in a pan or sauce pan?
U can use pan.
Very nice info. ... Subscribed 😀
Can i ask what method was used in the process? Is it chemical or physical activation?
Chemical
Chemical intercalation process

brother this coal is charcoal or coal
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.
Codyslab?
@@hippopotamus86 😘 yes
Make your charcoal in an oxygen free environment from the very beginning and you don’t need to mess around with chemicals
Its called Pyrolysis... Oxygen free thermal decomposition. Lots online DIY.
Biochar is poor-mans activated carbon.
can we use this activated carbon from charcoal for electrode ???
you can use lemon juice instead of calcium chloride is that right🙄
Yes .that's right
Great
if we are using lemon juice instead of calcium chloride, do we add the 100 grams of lemon juice in substitute of the 100 grams of calcium chloride?
hello, we are professional manufacturer of 【charcoal briquette machine】get 【price & details】 click web or whatsapp me: www.fotemining.com/charcoal_briquetting_machine.html?cuiy whtsapp: +8615225165347
its my understanding that lemon juice is an equal volume substitute for either suggested chemicals ( CaCl , Zi )
also, Bleach is another alternative
Can you use lime juice or orange juice instead?
As you can see in the video, you can use lemon juice, but the activated carbon produced will have less absorption power.
Do not use orange juice.
Please please please answer I don't have calcium chloride, how much / what's the quantity of lemon juice I can add..... 😥
as i mentioned in video You should use 100 ml of lemon juice for every 300 ml of water. 1: 3 ratio
Thanks 😊😊😊😊
@@CreativePeoples But what is the ratio of charcoal to water?
Can I add vinegar intended of lemon juice?
No. Vinegar has different acids with different effects
Great video, but here's the big question. How do you know its now activated ,after all you may have added too little or much calcium Chloride?
Watch cody'slab video on making carbon. He shows a process to test it.
@@sergiocuevas92 Iodine :D
Do not use Wood Charcoal for Water Filtering System, it has Mercury in it. Although it's a small amount, it still can harm you !!!
@@The_Gallowglass - 100% - Iodine Deficiency.
@@HeaanLasai he used intercalation methods for activation of carbon you can also use Nacl , KCl , h2so4 , LiCl etc for same activation
What happens if you use sodium chloride instead of calcium chloride?
Sodium chloride is regular salt
what is the whit things
What kind of wood does the charcoal come from?
Gunja..
Sir from you brought this charcoal?
Make a small fire outside and thrown some dry stick in it and let is burn out (1 to 3 or more hours). The left over black material is charcoal.
Or go to a camp ground and look for it in the fire pits.
Just wash and pulverize. Zero money involved, easy, and no difference between buying some online.
Can I use viniger?
In the production of activated carbon, strong oxidizing acids such as phosphoric acid and hydrochloric acid are used, or alkaline salts such as potassium and sodium hydroxide, calcium chloride and zinc chloride are used.
The acetic acid in vinegar is very low and weak, and if used to make activated carbon, it will produce a poor quality product.
@@CreativePeoples Saturated citric acid solution would do it.
do you put water on lemons to
You should use 300 ml of water for every 100 ml of lemon juice. Ratio 1 to 3
oky thank you creative people
Nice
I've learned it must be a Hard wood charcoal not just any wood for best charcoal.
lololol bro turned activated charcoal into activated charcoal with calcium
Walter White! Is that you?

Can i use Citric acid instead of lemon juice?
Yes, you can use acetic acid instead of lemon juice.
How lemon can activate charcoal?
@@ralphrundel6952 Lemon juice contains a small amount of citric acid and If used as much as mentioned in the video, it can activate charcoal.
Maneiro
After the step you you've separated the solution with CaCl2 from the charcoaloowder and the step you've taken it into the oven, you really didn't wash the charcoal with destilated water from the CaCl2? It's an important question for me cos there can be a rest from the dryed CaCl2 😋
What is that white powder , you didn't mention the name .
Calcium chloride
Coke!!
Can I make this activated carbon from coal by the same process?
They're the same thing.
Can I use lime instead of lemon?

What do they used it for?
Activated carbon is one of the best and oldest materials used in various filters. You can use it to filter the weather or even use it in food and hygiene
@@CreativePeoples Will or does your activated carbon decolor colored water
just a question, the last time you sit in a class room to learn did the teacher play music while you read, or does the instructor talk and explain stuff?? just asking
Whats that song
Thanks sir. Is KOH activation of carbon is done in the same way?
You can use any Salt lika Nacl , Kcl , Licl , NaF , KF and even h2so4
@@omsingharjit thanks sir...one more question if you don't mind. Is there any method to find which activating agent used in a given carbon sample?
@@anjalisharma314 I think if activating agent molecule are present in carbon flame test will indicate that
If Nacl or any sodium compound is present it will give you yellow colour , if CaCl2 or LiCl are present i will give you Red colour , copper gives green .
I think this will work but m not sure .
By the way why you wanna know that if you already have Activated carbon
@@omsingharjit actually I have purchased activated carbon , with that some specifications is given but not about the activated agent they used. So I want to know the name of activating agent they used..it's urgent to know..Anyway thanx for giving me such warm response...
@@omsingharjit can we use this activated carbon from charcoal for electrode ???
This is not how activated carbon is made. Check Wikipedia.
Why do you need to activate the carbon?

how does it taste?
It is usually taken in oral form in capsule form and you do not feel the taste.
Now can you make carbon Nano tubes
can one soak a material in the solution for masks?
You can remove the filter from the mask and put it in the solution for 3 hours, then remove the filter from the solution and dry it for reuse.
@@CreativePeoples i guess after watching again, can i make a solution with the final product for mask's.
@@CreativePeoples I would advise against soaking the lining of filters, they are not waterproof (even in the case of the state of the art polish fp5 filters) and will be ruined.
the "proper" way to do this is to cut a filter open across the middle and exchange the carbon with one of a similar or greater coarseness, tape the cut and tally mark the filter all while wearing respiratory protection. DO NOT DO THIS ON GOST FILTERS! this will result in asbestosis!
*this comment assumes that you are using carbon filters, in the case of a paper mask the answer is no, either use a mask designed for the purpose of limiting biological spread (such as a surgical/gas mask) or don't use a mask at all. gloves will lower your chance to catch a disease by a significantly higher margin.
Instead of calcium chloride u mentioned lemon juice what will be the quantity...
as i mentioned in video You should use 100 ml of lemon juice for every 300 ml of water. 1: 3 ratio
@@CreativePeoples why dose lemon juice work? And can you use limes?
Lemon juice has the ability to activate carbon due to its citric acid.
Almost any type of alkaline substance can be used to activate carbon, but if you do not have enough equipment and are not familiar with the chemical process, be careful not to use activated carbon produced in food and cosmetics.
@@CreativePeoples thank you
Tell me the white powder
calcium chloride
Was that used charcoal frm a grill?
You should use clean and unused charcoal. You can make charcoal yourself at home
How do u make charcoal?.. can u not use grilling charcoal out of a bag?
@@krazkttru4941most grill charcoal has chemicals that let it burn longer. So no, you do not want to use grill charcoal.
Charcoal is wood. Burn wood. And stop it from burning before the coals turn ashy.
@@Grimhavens this comment confuses charcoal for briquettes, even so it is still better to synthesize your own charcoal.
No, not recommended to use that charcoal for this kind of application. It is not the same thing. That charcoal is full of chemicals.
cant make activated carbon at 100C....my activated carbon has 2900/sq meter surface area
Thanks.I have got a problem before watching video .they ,what are the difference between charcoal and activated c,now it is okay.I just know,activated c is processed from charcoal which grinding and adding cacl2 processed to the activated c.

I am farmer ,Can we use active carbon for agriculture crops as organic food to soil, or guide How to make organic carbon for agriculture use subscribed
This is false information.
Codyslab did the real version with proof.
{ GNKeps6pIao }
Can you please test if resulting activated charcoal is electricaly conductive?
put charcoal in a kiln/foundry in a container with a small exhaust and set it to a high temperature, this should create graphite, which is naturally present in small quantities upon pyrolysis of wood to create the charcoal. A poor choice of stock rich in contaminants will lead to impure charcoal which is also electrically conductive despite graphite presence. might I ask what do you want conductive carbon for? I might further assist you if you wish.
