Abstract: 

The research was carried out in 2019 at the Management and Organization Center, which is located in the village of Mardash of the city of Suqaylabiyah on the eastern side of the Lattakia mountain range. Ten trees were felled at the site and the products of pruning the cut trees (branches, twigs and leaves) were used in the carbonization operations, And after sorting the resulting wood into two parts, the first is synthetic wood whose diameters ranged from 15 cm and above, This was excluded from the carbonization operations, and the second section: is the branches and small branches that ranged from 2 to 15 cm in diameter approximately, It is used in carbonization operations, The carbonization process was carried out in the traditional way according to several steps. Two different experiments in the field of carbonizing beaked eucalyptus wood were carried out on site by the same workers. The results of the calcification of Eucalyptus charcoal showed that for 1 ton of Eucalyptus charcoal we generally need about 6 tons of Carbonization wood. Results of the apparent properties of calcareous Eucalyptus charcoal showed that it is light weight and takes about 0.6 minutes to ignite, and about 9 minutes to fully glow if it is slow to ignite and gives smoke with an odor during ignition. It takes 19.3 minutes to extinguish and dissipate after grow, rays and annual growth rings do not appear clearly. Results of  the physical properties of  Eucalyptus charcoal showed that the specific temperature value was 0.851 cal \ g., The heat value of combustion is 282.5 cal \ g.
