Activated carbon, or activated charcoal, are actually carbon materials whose important use is to remove odors, colors, and unpleasant tastes from water. In this case, we will have tasty and clear blue.
It can also be used in air purification and food and chemical industries. Activated carbon is obtained from pyrolysis of materials such as coal, wood, pistachio skin, and the skin of other fruits.
Activated charcoal has small pores through which water passes. To produce this material, organic elements are subjected to intense heat and in an oxygen-free environment. As a result of this, activated carbon, amounts of gas and other substances are created.
From every 12 kg of pistachio shell, 1 kg of active carbon is extracted.
It is used to remove food poisoning, remove flatulence, bile problems, and eliminate abdominal pain.
This substance is suitable for the skin and is used to treat acne, remove germs and bacteria on the skin surface, and remove skin inflammation. Also, one of the best uses of it is teeth whitening.
Also, by extracting tar from activated carbon, it can be used in the treatment of tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis.
And it is used for diseases caused by vitamin C deficiency and cures bladder problems.
Of course, it can be said that tar is mostly used for external uses of the body, such as treating discomforts caused by eczema and eliminating dandruff.
