About charcoal
What is Activated Carbon? Activated - Bamboo Charcoal is a substance composed primarily of elemental carbon in amorphous (powder), a partly crushed graphite crystals. In addition to carbon, the rest usually ashes, which are mainly alkali metal and crushed sand). Activated carbon has a surface area large outside should be applied as a filter ideal for many types of chemical attraction.
Activated carbon is a material containing carbon (85-90%) have been processed to remove the resin and create pores in their structure.
Activated carbon is produced from raw materials are all kinds of charcoal (charcoal, bamboo charcoal measurement, coconut shell charcoal ...) by activating them by chemical and physical agents.
Activated carbon is different from regular charcoal in a surface area many times due to porous structure (surface area of charcoal usually only a few tens of m2 / g charcoal, activated charcoal is from a few hundreds to thousands of m2 / g). Absorption and other specs much higher than normal coal, charcoal therefore have superior technical characteristics that charcoal not normally get.
constitute
The surface area of activated charcoal if the unit volume is from 500 to 2500 m2 / g (take a specific example for comparison, a tennis court with a wide area of approximately 260 m2). This very large specific surface as a consequence of the hollow fiber structure that is mostly inherited from the origin of organic material through the process of dry distillation (drying) at high temperatures in anaerobic conditions. Most of the empty spots - cracked Circuit, have very strong absorption properties and they act as the transfer slot (interstitial connector). Activated carbon is usually self-upgrade (for example, self-washing or chemical ash coated), to retain the suction filter attribute, to be able to absorb the special components such as heavy metals.
Attributes increases the significance of activated carbon in ways it is also non-toxic substances (including once ingested it), low production costs (which are made from scrap wood and other organic materials such as bark , coir, rice husk, bamboo). Process waste activated carbon manufactured easily be destroyed by combustion method. If such substances are filtered heavy metals, then, to recover from burning ash, is also very easy.
application
Attributes increases the significance of activated carbon is: it is non-toxic substances (including once ingested it), low production costs (which are made from wood into charcoal from waste and other organic matter eg from the shell, coconut fiber), and also very easy waste disposal after use (by burning). If such substances are filtered heavy metals, then, to recover from burning ash, is also very easy.

Good effect in preventing soil rays
As is well known, in the cyclic element C (carbon) between lithium metal and metalloid Flo should have unique properties that easily combines with other atoms in different ways to create a large number of compounds in nature, an estimated 500,000 known compounds and compounds are mainly of the living body.
Including thousands of carbon compounds consisting of two elements C and H (Hydrocarbua) Carbon is the element so common in natural and indispensable in human life.
Activated carbon - electronic microscope magnification of 500 times (Accreditation in Japan) has the structure shown distinctive honeycomb. Thanks to this structure, in 1 g of activated carbon, the surface area of all the voids can reach 800 - 1300m2 / g activated carbon should have a very strong adsorption. The larger the surface adsorption. adsorbed particulate matter smaller the higher adsorption.
For example, the cube next county 0,001cm adsorption, the adsorbed particles up to 109 and the total area of 600cm2 adsorption reached. Also 1g activated carbon adsorption can be 380cm3 SO2, CL2 235cm3, 181cm3 NH3, H2S 99cm3, 47cm3 of CO2, CH4 16cm3, 8cm3 O2 in the air ....
In addition, activated carbon is always covered by magnetic field due to the intense absorption of production itself. This field is also known as the clean, because the school formation process as well as the consumption of harmful gas molecules. Activated carbon also emit infrared rays - rays have health benefits.
