How to Regenerate Activated Charcoal
- 1). Soak the activated charcoal in a solution of 9 to 10 percent hydrogen peroxide. Handle the solution by wearing gloves as it can cause burns. You can also use distilled deionized water instead of the hydrogen peroxide solution.
- 2). Stir the mixture every 15 minutes.
- 3). When the solution has been absorbed, add more solution to the container. Repeat this many times.
- 4). Bake the charcoal in an oven at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour or two.
