There are several ways to activate charcoal and it's hard for me to understand as well, because the chemical difference between charcoal and activated, is not stated. I've come to understand that high-heat+oxygen treatment, high-steam treatment or alkaline solution treatments are what activates charcoal. It seems that charcoal is porous and acts similar, but less so. Those things help clean it out. YouTube videos help. I watched someone run steam from a kettle through their charcoal and that worked - as shown through experimentation. I'm now myself wondering; would it do in a pressure cooker? I think it would. I could experiment, I guess. As could you. Be safe. Follow all manufacturer's instructions. Haha
