On prépare généralement le charbon activé à partir de la tourbe, en la mélangeant à de l'acide phosphorique et en calcinant à 1 200 °C. Il distille du phosphore, qu'on récupère, par combustion, en acide phosphorique pur. Le résidu de charbon, lavé à l'acide chlorhydrique, puis séché à 300 °C, constitue du charbon activé, dont les propriétés absorbantes ont de multiples applications : médecine, produits pharmaceutiques, industrie chimique, pétrochimie, industrie des corps gras, élimination des molécules organiques, notamment de saveur désagréable, contenues dans l'eau, etc. 4, record 2, French, - charbon%20actif

Carbón de madera o carbón propiamente dicho que se lleva al rojo vivo en una retorta para expulsar los hidrocarburos, pero con una aportación insuficiente de aire para mantener la combustión. El carbón se activa seguidamente exponiéndolo a un gas oxidante a elevada temperatura. Este gas desarrolla una estructura porosa en el carbón natural y crea así una gran superficie interna. 3, record 2, Spanish, - carb%C3%B3n%20activo
