The main goal of this work was production of charcoal from wastes of dried coconut fiber, banana and orange peels, chemically activated with zinc chloride, aiming the correct usage of contributing to its correct disposal. The waste was collected, prepared and impregnated with ZnCl2, chemically activated and had their efficacy tested using water from the Capibaribe River, in the city of Recife, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The results obtained were an activated charcoal with a fix mass in all samples (coconut/banana = 25/75), (coconut/banana = 75/25), (coconut/orange = 75/25), presenting efficacy in the reduction of pH, EC values and water turbidity
