Abstract	Methylene blue (MB) dye is a harmful pollutant commonly found in industrial wastewater and poses a significant threat to the environment and human health. Adsorption using activated carbon is encouraging approach to eliminate Methylene Blue dye from contaminated water. The aim of this work is to explore of the removal of MB dye by utilizing newly prepared activated carbon derived from Pongamia pinnata bark. The activated carbon was prepared through carbonization method and characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, TGA and SEM studies. The adsorption experiments were conducted by changing parameters viz. contact time, initial dye concentration, pH, and adsorbent dose. The optimum removal of 94.5% was found at an optimal pH of 6.5, contact time of 110 min, and adsorbent dose 4.0 at room temperature. The adsorption data fitted well to the Freundlich isotherm model, indicating a multilayer adsorption process. The findings suggest that the newly developed activated carbon is a highly effectual and sustainable adsorbent for the elimination of methylene blue dye from wastewater. This study highlights the future of activated carbon derived from bark”of Pongamia pinnata for the treatment of dye-contaminated water
