Product Information

The stick will also remove chlorine and other chemicals from water and release natural minerals back into the water.

Just keep adding fresh water on top of it when you're out, and after it's all out of purifying properties in three to four months, you can use it as a fridge deodorizer (bye, little orange box! Just leave it in a jug filled with tap water and it will slowly filter out impurities such as chlorine and chloramines make your water tastier and free from typical tap water odour. A kiln is set to a relatively low temperature to heat a piece of sustainably sourced wood for a long time.I’m also skeptical that sticks soaking in water could be as successful at removing contaminants as a filter that all water is forced to pass through. After four months, you can use your charcoal sticks as a deodorizer in your home appliances or mix them with garden soil to create biochar. If you are using your Binchotan with an average water bottle (750ml) and fill it up once a day, then it should last three months.

The charcoal is burned at extremely high temperatures (around 2,400 °F) and then it is rapidly cooled.

The charcoal is then removed and quickly covered with a special powder made from earth, sand and ash, and this gives the charcoal surface a whitish hue (explaining the name 'white charcoal').

Some argue that’s too extreme a label, as charcoal needs to be administered shortly following ingestion of a poison to do much good. You do not incur high maintenance costs when using a charcoal filter because the filter parts are low cost. This setup is so good at absorbing bad stuff that in the early 1800s, a French chemist and a French pharmacologist swallowed lethal doses of arsenic and strychnine (respectively) and then followed that with activated charcoal (“activated” means it’s been processed at high temperatures to be extra spongelike); the charcoal soaked up the bad chemicals, which then passed through their systems; and both men lived to tell the tale.They fit in Eau Good, Eau Good Glass, Eau Carafe and all Box Appetit water bottles but can also be used in any jug or bottle.
