Carbon-coated monoliths (CCMs) were chemically modified by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and ammonia aqueous solution (NH3) in order to enhance phenol adsorption. The adsorptive performance of phenol onto CCM-NaOH and CCM-NH3 was comparatively evaluated by batch mode. Experiments were carried out by varyi...
