Surfactant modified carbon coated monolith was used as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) adsorption. Effects of pH, salt, contact time, initial dye concentrations and temperature on dye adsorption were studied. Higher solution pH favoured MB adsorption. Furthermore, kinetics study showed that the...
