activated carbon
Charcoal with holes
Activated carbon is a form of carbon processed to have extremely porous surfaces, giving it exceptional ability to adsorb gases, chemicals, and impurities.
It's used in water filtration, air purification, poison treatment, and industrial processes: The filter contains activated carbon to remove chlorine taste.
Also called activated charcoal.
