What is the origin of the active carbon in Robi Capsules?Updated a year ago

The activated carbon in the Robi Capsules is made from coconut husks. 

This is how activated carbon is made:

Activated carbon, also known as activated carbon, can be made from several sources that are high in carbon. Coconut husks are one such source. Here is a simple overview of how the process generally works:

1. Drying: The coconut husks are first dried to remove moisture.

2. Carbonisation: The dried husks are heated in a sealed oven to a high temperature (usually between 600 and 900 degrees Celsius). This process, known as carbonisation or pyrolysis, turns the husks into carbon.

3. Activation: After carbonisation, the husks are "activated". This is done by further heating the carbonised husks in the presence of a gas containing oxygen, such as steam. This process opens the pores in the carbon and significantly increases its surface area, making the carbon highly absorbent.

4. Washing and Drying: The activated carbon is then washed to remove impurities, and then dried.

5. **Packaging:** Finally, the activated charcoal is packaged and is ready for use.

Note: This process requires specialised equipment and precise control of temperature and use of gases. It is not recommended to try this yourself at home.
