Many techniques were proposed for removal of ammonia as hazardous pollutant. Adsorption of ammoniafrom aqueous solutions onto activated carbon (prepared from rice straw as agricultural waste by calcination then activation with sodium hydroxide) was studied in batch reactor. Comparison of linear least-squares and trial-and-error non-linear methods of widely used isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Redlich-Peterson) was examined. Results manifest that adsorption rate increases withtemperature for calcination and activation. Maximum adsorption capacity of preparedactivated carbon is96.4 mg.g-1. Langmuir and Freundlich models provide a good fitting of data, with R2 range 0.7:0.98.Non-linearFreundlichmodel is the bestrepresentation.
