Has anyone ever tried to reactivate active charcoal? I have done some searching and cant find much information, only that it is possible. If anyone has tried please let me know how and what chemicals are used.

No chemicals will do it.
Heat, lots of heat for a long time while precisely controlling CO2 and O2 to prevent combustion. 1000F for a few hours should do it.

Impractical... especially considering how cheap activated carbon is. You can buy it in bulk very cheaply.
