Activated charcoal removes fine particulates, as well as lead, mercury, copper, and chlorine from water through a separation process called: adsorption distillation floatation filtration
Activated Charcoal is a small black porous structure that is used to filter water or gases due to its high surface area (pores) that can retain some organic and inorganic pollutants, keep in mind that large molecules are absorbed better than smaller ones.
