This study attempts to introduce a procedure to remove Aluminum ions from drinking water and industrial effluents by using active carbon with different grading as absorbent. Absorption of Aluminum ions were discussed in different conditions of Aluminum concentration, contact time, impact of electrolytes and pH on Aluminum ions absorbency.  Both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms used to investigate the adsorption. Thermodynamics relations governing process, such as specification of ( ), ( ) and the enthalpy of adsorption, were calculated, which showed that Aluminum absorption on active carbon is an endothermic and spontaneous process.
