What is activated charcoal?

Charcoal can be made in many ways, from animal bones, coal and most commonly from plants like coconuts, bamboo, and olive pits.

Activated charcoal is formed in two ways, either by heating normal charcoal to very high temperatures or chemically. This changes the internal structure of the charcoal giving it a larger surface area and smaller pores.
