Activated charcoal is a fine, odorless, black powder often used in emergency rooms to treat overdoses. Its toxin-absorbing properties have a wide range of medicinal and cosmetic uses. Making activated charcoal involves heating carbon-rich materials, such as coconut shells at very high temperature.
This “activation” process strips the charcoal of previously absorbed molecules and frees up bonding sites again. This process also reduces the size of the pores in the charcoal and makes more holes in each molecule, increasing its overall surface area.
As a result, one teaspoon of activated charcoal has about the same surface area as a football field.
