AB  - This paper reports the preparation and characterization of activated carbon coated monolith. The carbons have been prepared based on furfuryl alcohol (FA) added with or without poly ethylene glycol (PEG-600) as a pore forming agent. The carbon coated monoliths are characterized by thermo-gravimetrical analysis, elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and textural analysis. The carbon content of the materials is found to be about 75 wt % and the thickness of carbon coated monolith measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is of ~ 38 µm. The carbon sourced from only FA exhibits adsorption Type I, whilst the carbon sourced from FA + PEG-600 is of Type IV. Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) surface areas measured by N 2 adsorption are 362.71 and 341 m 2 /g carbon , respectively. Total pore volume of the samples FA and FA + PEG-600 are 0.2 and 0.38 m 2 /g carbon, respectively.
