The use of a combined polydopamine polyurethane open cell foam (OCPUF@PDA-recently introduced in open literature) with carbon media, is for the first time used for the dye (methylene blue) adsorption in an aqueous solution. The carbon media used in this work is activated charcoal and/or carbon nanotubes that are supported on the foam's surface. These new tools obtained (OCPUF@PDA@AC and OCPUF@PDA@CNT) are evaluated and compared to OCPUF@PDA and to the non-supported carbon media. The adsorption efficiency (245 mg(MB)/g(carbon) for OCPUF@PDA@AC versus 10 mg(MB)/g(PDA) for OCPUF@PDA) and easy-to-use of these new tools, open real perspective in wastewater treatment.
