A B S T R A C T The removal of typical s-triazine herbicides including atrazine, simazine, and prometryn by granular activated carbon were studied under different temperatures (5, 10, 15, 25, and 35 o C) and different water (distilled water, tap water, and river water). The results showed that the adsorptions of s-triazine herbicides in different. The adsorption of s-triazine is the greatest in distilled water and that is smallest in natural water. Moreover, for the adsorption isotherm,
