    abstract = {A biomass agricultural waste material, Rice Straw was used 
  for preparation of activated carbons by physical activation and modified with 
  KOH (RSK carbon). Bioremediation of Humic Substance (HS) by RSK carbon was investigated 
  through equilibrium process. The experimental results showed that the equilibrium 
  data fit well Langmuir equation. It was found that for RSK carbon can achieve 
  adsorption of HS at 21.1 mg g<SUP>-1</SUP>. The underlying mechanism of HS sorption 
  was discussed. It could be concluded that a mixed effect of electrostatic attraction 
  and surface complex formation is suggested to be responsible for the adsorption 
  of humic substance on the surface of carbon.}
