Hi Ivor!
Hmmmmmmm...
I recon if I did not have other matters to take my time
up...I could find it fun to build something as would do
the deed...
And with lots of 'Rivets' too...maybe make it of 'monel' or
something, and buff it out so it shines nicely.
How 'hot' is Nine-Hundred 'Celsius'? I forget the
Rosetta-Stone on that...
And at what sort of pressure would you think, the
Clay-Sawdust things ought be 'steamed'?
More than for 'Dim-Sum' I'd suppose...more than a 'big'
Autoclave?

Dear Burness Speakman,
This sounds like an interesting device. But to be useful as
a deodoriser and substrate which removes organic and
chemical contamination, Charcoal needs to be treated.
Ordinary, run of the mill, barbecue or chicken roast
charcoal will not do the job. Activation seems like a
complex process involving steam at up to 900 deg Celsius
acting on organic matter such as sawdust.
Now I could imagine a clay based substance, composed of clay
and sawdust and impregnated with Silver nitrate being press
formed into cylinders then fired in a steam rich atmosphere
to 900 deg Celsius. I wonder if anyone could estimate the
manufacturing cost?Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
