You forgot:
4 Cu + O2 --> 2 Cu2O
Cu2O + C --> 2 Cu + CO
2 Cu2O + --> 4 Cu + CO2
CuO + C --> Cu + CO
2 CuO + C --> 2 Cu + CO2
CuO + CO2 --> CuCO3
Charcoal is not simply C, you have also some H atoms (and some minor O, N, S, P atoms) into it...it was organic in nature before being turned into
charcoal; so more likely you will have H2O and HCl also.
Not counting with the fact C is under the graphite structur; a kind of stacking of extended polycyclic aromatic planes composed of hexagons with most
C atoms into conjugated sp2 (planar 120° angle) form...so when breacking that structure of (=C(-)2)n or (-C=C-C=C-C=C...) you will of course have
CCl4 but also other haloalcanes and alcenes (C2Cl4, C2Cl6, C3Cl8, ...) and halogenated aromatics (benzenic, naphtalenic, biphenylic, anthracenic,
pyrenic, ...)
Bubbling the reaction gases into cold water is a good option, but maybe add some Na2CO3 or NaOH to it to be sure to decompose any phosgen generated
(basic media will react much faster than water alone).
Na2CO3 + Cl2C=O + H2O --> 2 NaCl + CO2 + H2CO3 (same as (HO)2C=O or H2O + CO2)
2 NaOH + Cl2C=O --> 2 NaCl + H2CO3
