We all use a charcoal in daily life in different applications, if I ask what are the different applications ?
The answer might be as a fuel, or it could be in a water filter system or in masks also, yes activated carbon is a type of charcoal used in face masks and water filters.
Charcoal has a ability to adsorb harmful gases and impurities, that is why it is used in different application as a purifier element. this ability of carbon is called adsorption not absorption, because it only connects with gases by surface, as shown in figure below.
ADSORPTION ABSORPTION


So in case of charcoal it is better to use it in a form of surface for proper use of charcoal as per the application. For more information regarding application of charcoal you can visit site, Activated carbon as filters in many application .
Charcoal is used in many applications like as a fuel, in cosmetics, air filters, water filters, food processing, etc.
charcoal/carbon and activated carbon both has a different application of use hence they are made up of different process.
Normal charcoal is produced by heating a wood at very high temperature for removal of water particles and other organic elements in an absence of oxygen.
While Activated carbon is produced by burning of carbon rich material or carbon/charcoal itself at higher temperature with chloride salts as a other material.

Activated carbon has good adsorption ability so that it is basically used in filtering applications and charcoal is used in other applications like in teeth whitening, as a fuel, etc. For more info visit this site, Difference between Activated charcoal and charcoal .
Charcoal is a black diamond because it has a ability to purify the surroundings which is vital. May be in upcoming days carbon can solve the major problems related to environmental pollutions like water and Air pollution. And if it is possible then we also can solve the issue of pollution through conventional vehicles with the help of the charcoal.
From the current situation of earth there is no limit for the innovation and redevelopment of green earth for the better future...
