Activated charcoal (Carbonis activati)
Activated charcoal has been known since ancient times. References to it are found even in ancient writings, where it is recommended to pass water through charcoal to purify it. Useful quality coal were known to the ancient Greeks, who cleared them not only water but also beer and wine.
In ancient Egypt, in the XV century BC. Oe. Charcoal has been used for medicinal purposes. In Europe, the adsorbing property of coal have been seen only in the XVIII century. Then it was scientifically established that charcoal can absorb the gas and liquid bleach. In the next century charcoal began to be used in France for bleaching sugar syrup.
However, the mass industrial production of activated carbon only began in the early XX century. The first batch of powdered coal was released in 1909. In Russia, the activated carbon used to filter the water of Borjomi mineral water springs.
During the First World War, the Army put into service gas masks, which used activated carbon made from coconut shell.
Cocoanut
Today, coconut shell activated carbon made from high adsorptivity.
Activated charcoal is odorless and tasteless, insoluble in common solvents. Currently, there are many types of activated carbon, which are widely used in various spheres, including medicine.
The drug is produced from wood by destructive distillation. For this purpose, different kinds of trees: beech, birch, pine, linden, oak, fir, aspen, alder, poplar. In accordance with the procedures listed adsorptivity made from these trees coal decreases.
Activated charcoal can produce ourselves. For this purpose, the trees are not over 50 years. The wood must be cleaned of bark and core cychkov. Cooked this way the logs are burned in the fire until the fire until it disappears. At stake will be in place of wood embers. Usually in such coals baked potatoes or cooked kebabs.
Now you must choose from a campfire coals larger shake off the dust and ashes, and placed in a previously prepared dishes, and then closed tightly. When the coals in the pan has cooled, you can take out and once again cleared of coal dust in a mortar and pound until not too small granules. Then get the cereal to sift through. Activated carbon is ready for use.
The trees used to produce activated carbon: a - pine, b - birch in - oak, r - fir
To get the best quality activated carbon, it is necessary, taking coals from a fire, put them in a colander. After this hot coals treated with steam, which must hold the colander over the pots with boiling water. Omit the coals in water can not. When the charcoal has cooled completely, you need to pound it and put in storage.
Keep it should be in a closed vessel, placed in a dry place, away from substances that emit gases or vapors. In air or in a place with high humidity adsorbing properties of activated carbon are greatly reduced.
Constructed in this way, you can use charcoal to filter water or alcohol.
Due to its high adsorbing capacity and high surface activity of the activated carbon is widely used in the treatment of diseases. Its use in acute poisoning alkaloids or salts of heavy metals, food poisoning, indigestion, flatulence, hyperacidity and hypersecretion of gastric juice, as well as infections and diseases of the digestive tract (gastrointestinal tarkta), accompanied by processes of decay and fermentation.
Activated charcoal - a fairly harmless drug. But do not abuse it and use it in too large doses. It is not recommended, and the constant use of activated charcoal in moderation, since it can reduce absorption from the gastrointestinal tract of fats, proteins, vitamins, hormones and nutrients, causing depletion of the body and hypovitaminosis. In addition, the side effects of excessive use of activated carbon are diarrhea and constipation, in some cases there may be erosion of the gastrointestinal tract.
Activated charcoal is also used in the treatment of chronic renal failure, chronic and viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, asthma, atopic dermatitis and in preparation for radiological studies.
After taking the patient's stool charcoal colored in black.
We do not recommend the use of other drugs in conjunction with activated carbon, since they would be significantly diminished.
Contraindicated use of activated charcoal in hypersensitive patients, ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract and gastric bleeding.
