The waste polymer activated carbon was prepared from tyre by NaOH activation, which was used for the adsorption of dye Direct Scarlet 4BS in aqueous solution. The influences of pH value, activated carbon dosage, adsorption time and reaction temperature on adsorption rate were discussed in details. It was shown that the activated carbon dosage, adsorption time and reaction temperature had an important effect on the removal of dye Direct Scarlet 4BS in aqueous solution. However, the removal of dye Direct Scarlet 4BS was little dependent on pH value in solution. At 0.6g of activated carbon, 60mg/L of initial dye concentration, 60min, 35°C and pH 4.0, the removal of dye Direct Scarlet 4BS reached 85.14%.
