The present investigation reports the phenol adsorption contemporaneity of a cationic surfactant CTAB ( N -cetyl- N , N , N -trimethyl ammonium bromide)-modified activated coal to identify a befitting absorbent material. The process parameters are optimized and enunciated based on adsolubilization by the modified activated coal. The phenol concentration, surfactant concentration, pH, and temperature were varied from 10 to 50 mg dm −3 , 0.1 − 1.6 mM, 3 − 7, and 298 − 318 K, respectively. The cation-electron co-relativity between the CTAB and phenol, along with the hydrophobic synergy, is significant to the phenol adsolubilization. The degree of adsorption on the surfactant modified (by 0.8 mM solution) activated coal for phenol is augmented from 22.86 to 34.98 mg g −1  (53.02%) at the pH value 3.0, and 50 mg dm −3  phenol solution at 298 K. The spontaneous adsorption process was endothermic, and with the increase of temperature from 298 K to 318 K, the adsorption capacity was increased from 34.98 mg g −1  to 38.98 mg g −1 . With the increase of pH, the adsorption capacity was decreased from 34.88 to 17.72 mg g −1 . In comparison, it was increased from 8.06 to 34.88 mg g −1  with the increment of phenol concentration from 10 to 50 mg dm −3 . The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich and Dubinine-Radushkevich, isotherm models.
