The commercial polyurethane foam was acid modified to get an inexpensive 
adsorbent (AM-PUF) has highly surface polarity and sorption capacity. The elemental 
analysis, scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, ultraviolet/visible/infrared 
spectroscopies and X-ray diffraction were used for characterization of AM-PUF. The surface 
of AM-PUF has amorphous character (broadband at 2θ, 21.75) and contains several active 
sites eg NH, OH, C double bond; length as m-dash
