Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POPs) are promising materials for the adsorption of phenolic pollutants in wastewater due to their advantages including high surface area, tunable pore structure, easy to surface chemical functionalities, good physicochemical stability, etc. However, understanding the adsorption mechanism and realizing POPs with combined properties including low–cost, recyclable and high–efficiency remain challenges. In this work, four magnetic amine–modified pitch–based hypercrosslinked polymers (MAPHCPs) with different aniline (PA) content, PP, PP0.8PA0.2, PP0.6PA0.4 and PP0.4PA0.6, were synthesized and studied. All MAPHCPs demonstrated good thermostability and magnetic recyclability. With increasing PA content, the specific surface area decreased, while the pore sizes were similar. However, the calculated maximum adsorption capacity of the four phenolic pollutants onto PP0.4PA0.6 was between 47 % and 129 % higher than that of PP. The theoretical analysis and experimental results suggest that the acid-base interaction is the primary cause, with the dipolar and hydrogen bonding interactions as secondary causes for these improvements. This work not only demonstrates an approach for the preparation of low-cost, recyclable and high–efficiency POPs for the adsorption of phenolic pollutants, but also clarifies the combined mechanisms of chemical adsorption and physical adsorption.
