Q & A: Renewing Granulated Activated Charcoal

by Kimberly DinsleyPosted in Everything Activated Charcoal, Uses of Activated CharcoalTagged , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Charcoal question answered. Hi Buyactivatedcharcaol! I had a question on the granulated activated charcoal, the Pure Non-Scents as well as other granulated varieties. Q: Can they be washed to “renew” their absorption power? A: No. Q: I ask, as I have a couple Sharp Plasmaclusters, and they have a carbon filter which is washables, and the instructions say to wash it to “renew” it every couple months.

A: The washing may remove some film from the air, such as grease, that may have adhered to the activated charcoal, but you do not reactivate charcoal by washing […]

Activated Charcoal: Natural Odor Eliminator For Hunters

02/11/2015

Charcoal question answered. Question: Hello, I try to keep my deer hunting clothes (most contain activated carbon) scent free by storing them in a scent free storage tote. Would your product, “Natural Odor Eliminator” help further eliminate or reduce odors if I placed a sachet of the product in my storage containers? If this product is helpful I would consider placing it in other containers that hold other gear I take in the woods such as a backpack, etc. Serious hunters, like myself, are overly concerned about keeping themselves; clothing and gear scent free. Some, if not all, would buy most anything that would provide an edge over a wary whitetail’s nose.

Charcoal question answered. Q: Greetings Mr. Dinsley, I plan on using Activated Charcoal. While researching on the web I noticed some people who have bought or used Activated Charcoal were saying that if you use Activated Charcoal keep in mind that it will deplete your iodine.

Activated charcoal does adsorb Iodine (including radioactive Iodine from nuclear power plants). Iodine adsorption is used to measure the activity level of various activated charcoals. […]
