Abstract

This study included the preparation and diagnosis of new adsorbent material from the initial vegetable sources are (Pomegranate peel Iraqi Ceratonia), as diagnosed by different techniques such as infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the atomic force microscope(AFM), and the electronic scanner microscope (SEM), The results of FT-IR showed that the activated carbon does not contain any effective group,  it is chemically inert, The results of (XRD, AFM) and (SEM) showed the crystalline level of the recorded coal, the size of the minutes and the shape of the pores on the surface of the activated charcoal, In addition to study the feasibility of coal adsorption record Pigments with high molecular weights of methylene blue dye and also calculate the ratio of moisture, which amounted to (0.2%) and a high density (0.495g/cm3) It was also found that the acidic function of activated charcoal was neutral (7.1) and ash content was (0.0112g) ,The results showed that the activated carbon has specifications that conform to the specifications of commercial or global activated coal.
