	  abstract     = {In this study, we used a two-stage process and
potassium hydroxide (KOH) to transform waste biomass (rice straw)
into activated carbon and then evaluated the adsorption capacity of the
waste for removing carbofuran from an aqueous solution. Activated
carbon was fast and effective for the removal of carbofuran because of
its high surface area. The native and carbofuran-loaded adsorbents
were characterized by elemental analysis. Different adsorption
parameters, such as the initial carbofuran concentration, contact time,
temperature and pH for carbofuran adsorption, were studied using a
batch system. This study demonstrates that rice straw can be very
effective in the adsorption of carbofuran from bodies of water.},
