Activated charcoal filtration of vodka was introduced in the 18th century in Russia by Theodore Lowitz to make the national drink “more hygienic”. Activated carbon is still used today to improve the quality of vodka for trace impurities without reintroducing dissolved salts and ions such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, iron and magnesium.
ColorSorb™ H620 has been successfully used for the purification of vodka. This high purity, premium food grade activated carbon is readily available and has a pore size distribution that is developed during production to remove a broad range of impurities. The quality of alcohol mainly depends on the raw materials used and more importantly the distillation process employed.
