Abstract Rice straw fibers, considered in this work are a good source for synthesized amorphous carbon thin film (ACTF) hence; it has 64% cellulose linen fibers. We study the structure and properties of ACTF as new adsorbents to study the individual adsorption characteristics of sodium ions from synthetic water. Batch tests, used to study the influence of pH, contact time, and temperature, on the ion adsorption on activated carbon. We found that the pseudo-secondorder kinetic model and by Langmuir isotherm would portray contact time of sodium adsorption and isothermal adsorption steadies, respectively. Also the adsorption process of sodium ions on activated carbon is stronger depends on pH. The maximum adsorption capacities of sodium on activated carbon were 107, 120 and 135 mg g-1 at 35, 45, and 65°C. The thermodynamic parameters explain that the adsorption of sodium ions on novel ACTF was a spontaneous process and endothermic reaction. According to adsorption studies, activated carbon suitable for ion chromatography or desalinate sodium ion in ion exchange process in the hybrid desalination process with insignificant loss of adsorption capacity. However, the ACTF has better properties than any other carbon materials that got from an agricultural by-product.
