How Activated Charcoal Works. Activated charcoal absorbs a wide variety of drugs and chemicals. Adsorption is a process in which atoms and molecules move from a bulk phase (such as a solid, liquid, or gas) onto a solid or liquid surface. In other words, the toxic substance attaches to the surface of the charcoal.
Activated charcoal is most effective if itâs administered within the first hour of ingestion of the toxin. 1  However, there are some substances that activated charcoal does not work on: 2  Alcohol. 3  Cyanide. 4  Metals such as iron and lithium. 5  Certain acids that quickly damage internal tissues.
