Justin,
Elricko's question was right on, since you didn't post your situation.
Makeing activated carbon at home would be almost impossible, as it requires very high temp steam, pressure conditions etc.
There are other things you can do though. First and foremost, make as clean a distillate as you can, as close to 95%, as your still will run, I usually do two runs, to make it cleaner. Then if you have a freezer or fridge, cool your product-Helps seperate the oils. Then fill a jar all the way to the top, and let sit. The oils will form a film ant the top that you can see with a flashlight shining parrallel to the surface. You can then dab them off with a cloth. Plane homemade charcoal, might help some also.
Main thing is good distillation practice, and you won't need to filter. You won't have crap vodka.
