Water pollution, especially the industrial wastewater containing aromatic compounds, is one of the most urgent environmental problems. Phenolic compounds are pollutants of great concern because of the high toxicity ...

Polymeric resins with phosphonate esters are synthesized via Michaelis-Becker reaction, characterized and used in the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. It is found that phosphonate phenyl ...

This paper reports the results of the adsorption performance of Cu(II) removal from aqueous solutions by an impregnated resin, polysulfone microcapsules (PS) containing di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA). The adsorbent ...
