I'm afraid not. The charcoal used in filtration is activated charcoal,
which is made by burning bone or similar material in an oxygen-deprived
environment. If you try to filter water through charcoal briquettes or
wood, I believe the output is LYE. You could make soap with the lye I
suppose,
I'm sure I will be corrected if I am wrong but I seem to remember from
one of my other groups that charcoal would need to be converted to
activated carbon via super heated steam this steam opens up millions
upon millions of microscopic pores on the carbon which attract
impurities in things
contain different chemicals some of them poisonous and/or carcinogenic.

Thanks Dean.
I went on the premise that purifiers were made of charcoal (so far, so good)
but, had no background on how it's prepared.
I think you just discovered that I'm not a chemist.

A while back, we had a discussion on simple cook stoves.

I was wondering if some of the charcoal collected from the stove could be used
as a water purifier. I quickly checked the archives to see if it was already
discussed and didn't find
