%X In this study, treatability of the glass industry wastewaters was investigated by using adsorption method. After wastewater characterization, adsorption capacities of 16 different adsorbents (16, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200,> 200 mesh-sized zeolites (Aqua-Multalite), zeolite 13X, zeolite 4A, activated carbon, resin Dowexs HCR-S/S, resin Dowexs Marathon-C,microcrystalline cellulose,  ank r  bentonite, pumice stone, klinoptilolit) were determined. The efficiency of adsorption method was evaluated considering COD parameter, and the work was continued by using activated carbon with high adsorption capacity. The optimum conditions were determined by investigating effects of activated carbon amount and agitation period on COD removal. The optimum conditions were found as 3 g of activated carbon and 210 minutes of reaction time for this study.
