Is it possible to clean used activated carbon

I was wondering if it was possible to "wash" old or used activated carbon in a solution to clean it, so that it can be reused again? Thanks

Pretty sure it's not possible. I think it actually chemically reacts, which is what neutralizes the smell. So in order to "clean" it you would need to chemical re-activate it. I think that would be more work then it is worth.

Yes. You can bake it off in a kiln at very high temperatures- in excess of 800'C. Know a potter? More specifically, know a potter whose kiln is in a spot where a severe case of two-skunks-fucking-stank wafting out of a warming kiln won't arouse suspicion?

I was told by gardener that you just have to boil carbon to reactivate it...same way they do water purifiers..I know this is a old thread..but might help in future
