Orange peel, an agricultural waste available in large quantity in China, was utilized as low-cost adsorbent to remove furadan from aqueous solution by adsorption. Adsorption isotherms were calculated and discussed. Both Langmuir and Freundlich models fitted the adsorption data quite reasonably (R2> 0.98) and the maximum adsorption capacity was 161.29 mg.g-1. The results in this study indicated that orange peel was an attractive candidate for removing furadan from the aqueous solution.
