In this study, covalent organic polymer (COPs) were modified with vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride (VTC), an organic compound containing abundant aromatic rings and quaternary ammonium groups. The structure of the resulting adsorbent (VTC-COPs) was investigated via FTIR, XRD, TGA, SEM, BET, and XPS. The modified VTC-COPs exhibited a mesopore structure with a pore size of 27.9 nm and a specific surface area of 38.5 m<sup>2</sup>/g. The DCF removal performance of VTC-COPs in aqueous solutions was evaluated by a batch adsorption experiment. At pH 6, the saturated adsorption capacity of VTC-COPs reached 458 mg/g, whereas that of the original C<img>C-COPs was 346 mg/g. The results show that the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models can effectively describe the equilibrium adsorption process. According to the Langmuir model, the maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent VTC-COPs at 298 K was 616 mg/g. The negative ΔH and ΔG values obtained through thermodynamic parameters confirmed that the DCF adsorption of VTC-COPs was a spontaneous exothermic process.
