Default Activated Carbon question

Can activated carbon used in our aquarium filters be reused if you clean
it, dry it, and then bake it in an oven at 300 degrees?


I'm not sure anyone ever answered your question. To reactivate spent
carbon it has to be heated in a steam kiln to 1600F, as when it was
first activated.
