Abstract

A new adsorbent (JN-01) was prepared by modifying resin NDA-1800 with nitro functional groups. The adsorption capacities of resins XAD-4, NDA-1800 and JN-01 were investigated, and the results indicated that the modified resin JN-01 was much better in adsorbing phenol, p-nitrophenol and p-cresol. The adsorption capacities of the resin JN-01 were higher than those of the resins XAD-4 and NDA-1800 within a temperature range of 283–323 K, which might be attributed to the higher surface area and the partial polarity on its matrix. The new adsorbent could be widely used in wastewater treatment.
