Vanadium (V) is a toxic metal, which dominantly exists as V
5+
in an aquatic environment. Rice straw, which is an abundant agricultural by-product throughout China was used to treat V
5+
containing wastewater as an adsorbent after phosphoric acid treatment. The effects of initial V

concentration, solution temperature, pH and reaction time on V removal by phosphoric acid modified rice straw (AcM) were systematically assessed. A pH range of 2.0-3.0 was favorable for V removal and the adsorption capacity of V by AcM increased with elevated solution temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity for water containing 500 mg V

from aqueous solution.
