A thermal process of 400C is used to create Activated Carbon (activated charcoal).

A common way to "regenerate" the stuff is to bake it in your kitchen oven. That will 'bake out' (vaporize) much of whatever it has adsorbed.

Regeneration has a few potential problems though:
[*] You don't know what or how much is being removed to the surrounding air
[*] Not all of what was adsorbed is likely to be removed
[*] The retail cost of energy to bake it may exceed the carbon replacement cost
