Abstract:-

   Dates in Phoenix dactylifera contain the kernel or seeds, which account for 10% -15% of the weight of date fruits. Their weight ranges between 0.5-4.4 g. The characteristics of date's nuclei vary greatly depending on species and environmental conditions. The rectangular fruit consists of a solid nucleus surrounded by a thin membrane called Endocarp that separates the nucleus from the meat section being eaten. Although the nucleus of dates contains useful compounds, but is usually disposed of, or used as feed for livestock, as used in the manufacture of coffee-free caffeine and in the manufacture of dates.

   Therefore, the processing of these industrial wastes from the date nuclei is necessary by recycling instead of considering it as an environmental problem and employing it with local raw materials to improve the physical properties of the ceramic product and to obtain ceramic objects with certain advanced specifications to increase their quality.

    This depends on the conduct of some experiments to study the effect of adding the powder of the nucleus of dates on the physical properties of the local clay, (Al-Qawasim clay) south of Gharyan, such as porosity, density, plasticity, color and hardness.
