The contamination of water resources by hazardous organic compounds is becoming severe worldwide. In this study, the adsorptive removal of atrazine (ATZ) and diuron (DUR), two widely used herbicides, from water by polyaniline-derived carbons (PDCs) was investigated for the first time, under various conditions. A selected PDC, fabricated at optimum conditions, i.e., by pyrolysis at 800 °C (and labeled PDC(80), showed remarkable adsorptivity for both herbicides, that is, 7.7 and 11.3 times the maximum adsorption capacity (Q for ATZ and DUR, respectively,
