Quotation from: General Science

Written by: Bertha M. Clark


Commercially, charcoal is used on a large scale in the refining of
sugars, sirups, and oils. Sugar, whether it comes from the maple tree,
or the sugar cane, or the beet, is dark colored. It is whitened by
passage through filters of finely pulverized charcoal. Cider and
vinegar are likewise cleared by passage through charcoal.


The value of carbon, in the form of charcoal, as a purifier is very
great, whether we consider it a deodorizer, as in the case of the
sewage, or a decolorizer, as in the case of the refineries, or whether
we consider the service it has rendered man in the elimination of
danger from drinking water.
