Well.... Somebody finally made a video, start to finish, without a bunch confusing context, just the important points. Easy to understand, great video, all around well done!
This method is nice. Hands down. It should also be noted that activated charcoal can be used to filter chemicals and heavy metals from water. Activated charcoal is what the company "Berkey" uses in their water filters and they are, in my opinion, the best water filtering company out there. How to make activated charcoal is an excellent survival tool. Great video. I took notes. Thank you.
One thing I'd add is a suggestion for saving the liquid that is run off from washing it out. Put that fine stuff in your watering pail the next time you water plants and it changes the soil slowly to terra preta. And all of those surfaces in there store fertilizer for the plants.
@@OnyxFoodHill good potent black soil can be found in the gutters out in front of your house. When you need it now you can use a lawnmower and mulch a bunch of old leaves. Only use leaves or brush that is dark Grey or black and stuff that has been compacted together like paper that has been wet, stacked and redried. If you've ever walked in the woods and kicked the top layer of loose leaves aside you will see a darker layer much like I described above. That stuff is the best. Yes the type of trees can matter but you get the idea
I've been doing much research on making charcoal and activating charcoal. This is the absolute best and most comprehensive tutorial in both content and delivery I have encountered. I will toss those that I've saved and use only this one as my go-to reference. Thank you!
@@OnyxFoodHill dude thank you for destroying activated charcoal high price nut case industry" much love for people like you, a question how much lemon juice for 1 kg of charcoal?
Thank you very much! Your tutorial is easy ( household items), and it has a very low cost compared to those chemical methods (e.g. adding calcium chloride)! Subscribed! You deserve more views!Keep it up💪
Many years ago I went to Bangkok hospital for a physical check up and they have a bakery selling bread that was completely black, that when I found out about charcoal, today it seems like is a trend. Tks for sharing .
Water filtered better to use than tap water which always of questionable quality no matter your location, better wash and rinse leads closer to higher quality activated product. Great tutorial!
*Best to bake in an oven with a little CO2 gas pumped into the oven to a cidify the wet carbon (CARBONIC ACID). I mix the Carbon with crushed ice and soda water and let sit an hour then heat to 255 F. for 45 minutes in CO2 atmosphere. After heating the CO2 gas is gone (Must do out doors!). This makes a type of activated carbon 1000X more powerful and good enough for gas masks!*
Si tenias otra idea, pq no lo dijiste antes, y ahora por envidia tiras tu porqueria de formula, q ni se entiende. Lo hizo excelente y tu te copiaras de esta persona. Vive y deja vivir, q esto es nuevo para muchos...👹👺😡
Excellent information thank you very much but I hope I never need to do this. Too much time too much trouble too many steps !! About a gallon of dry activated charcoal about 5-6 years ago and I have well over half of it left. But thanks for the video cuz I know it will help some people God bless you
You just made regular charcoal powder. You need a stronger acid than lemon juice (such as Calcium Chloride) to lower the activation temperatures from 600C-1200C to 450-900C, those temperatures are only achieved through a stovetop on high heat not an oven which'll only reach 240C.
@@joynakowa9782 Also you need a stainless steel pot and it still might not activate evenly like an industrial process would do, I wouldn't do it again and instead just use unactivated charcoal or buy it
To the people that have actually tried this ... DOES THIS WORK? real activated charcoal will bubble in water because of its reactiveness.... would be interested to see is it will absorb food coloring ... someone should make a video with this so called activated charcoal and regular charcoal with food coloring... IM VERY SKEPTICAL THIS WORKS
Great vid! Two questions: 1) can you use vinegar instead of lemon juce? (Or any oder acid?) 2) how do you know your coal is really activated? After all, both coals look the same!
WOW !!! This is good teaching. Love to learn on these. Can we also take little of the activated charcoal mixed with water, in cases of food poisoning, etc. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
So wonderful to know it is possible to make it myself! Thank you so much. Can you explain how to make initial charcoal, what wood can be used, etc. Thanks😊 will myrtle wood and elm work?
Thanks so much for the video. I just made mine. Anyways I left mine to sit for 27hours,and I didn't rinse the lemon juice out of the charcoal, will it still work??
now i dont need to buy charcoal bags for my distiller.thankyou............activated charcoal is awesome for teeth, afterall its what was used to clean teeth and keep them white............
interesting if it works but usually it is made by heating at high temps to create all the micro crevasse, not sure how acid from lemon will do that?, also i would crush them to desired size before washing them with water
Wonderful. You made it look so easy. Can I buy any kind of charcoal from all kinds of wood for this? Or is there a certain type I should look for? Can any wood serve? Thanks
Thanks my sister for sharing. I am a fan of your videos on UA-cam. Please I want to ask if you can use any charcoal and then activate it? Thanks as I await your response. God bless you richly
thank you for taking the time for making this video. Its really clear and informative :) i do have one question, is apple vinegar an ok substitute to use instead of lemon?
I'm really glad you benefited from the video, thanks so much for your kind words. No apple cider vinegar is not an option, you only use calcium carbonate or lemon juice for activated charcoal.
In our country activated carbon is made from coconut shell charcoal which does not crumble to fine dust. Charcoal powder is treated with super heated steam cooled and packed in air tight bags. This charcoal is often fed to patients to temove poisons ingested into the gut.
@@OnyxFoodHill I have no calcium chloride can I prepare it with lemon juice and what is the ratio of charcoal / lemon juice / even water if needed? Thank you
@@OnyxFoodHill tq. Will there be any time limit to use this activated charcoal? Some say that we should boil wood charcoal imrose water. Which way is correct? Can u pls let me know from where hav u gathered this info. Is it scientific, tested and tried with good results?
@@lathac4487 If you keep your activated charcoal in an airtight container, there's no time limit, but once air has come in contact with it, it gradually loses its potency.
so you're telling me all along this same coal as we call it in Jamaica is used to make activated charcoal? lovely i can stop buying and make my own thank you very much for this video.
After activation (by making more spaces), crushing by mixer/blunder, will it not destroy all the spaces made? Second, how citric/ascorbic acid(lemon juice) will dissolve carbon to make spaces? Might increase adsorption capacity. But when washed with water after lemon juice treatment what will happen?
Well.... Somebody finally made a video, start to finish, without a bunch confusing context, just the important points. Easy to understand, great video, all around well done!
I appreciate your comments, thanks for stopping by ❤️❤️
Honestly, it is very explicit to understand. In short it is Crystal clear
It's cool but he didn't show how he heats his wood to make the charcoal. That is pretty important part

Anyways I left mine to sit for 27hours,and I didn't rinse the lemon juice out of the charcoal, will it still work??
Thank you very much! It is a very useful video! May I ask what is the temperature and the period u heat the charcoal?
You are welcome, the charcoal should be dried at a relatively low temperature of 230'F for 20 to 30 or until dried
What type of wood is it, did it come in a bag from the store?
What is the function of lemon juice. Can we replace it with citric acid ?
Its not absorption, its adsorption, with a "D", because it traps molecules on the surface.
now i dont need to buy charcoal bags for my distiller.thankyou............activated charcoal is awesome for teeth, afterall its what was used to clean teeth and keep them white............
Wonderful tip, thanks alot for sharing!

So why soak the charcoal in lemon juice and then wash it out
Nice question
what is the purpose of lemon juice in doing acticated carbon?
It increases the pore spaces, making the charcoal to be able to absorb more gases.
What is the reason behind for adding lemon or lime juice into the charcoal?
