Posted by A simple and efficient strategy to prepare a β-CD-modified hyper-crosslinked styrene-divinyl benzene copolymer (CDM-HCP) was developed. It was applied for the removal of anilines from aqueous solutions. The introduction of β-CD into the hyper-crosslinked polymer (see the featured scheme)significantly enhanced adsorption properties for the removal of various amines such as aniline, p-chloroaniline (p-CA)p-methylaniline (p-MA) and p-aminobenzoic acid (p-ABC). The maximum adsorption capacities determined by adsorption isotherms were 148.97 mg/g for aniline, 198.45 mg/g for p-MA, 293.71 mg/g for p-CA, and 622.91 mg/g for p-ABC, respectively. It had higher adsorption capacities than those of some commercial polymeric resins, such as XAD-4, PA66, and AB-8.

A CDM-HCP can be regenerated efficiently and used repeatedly, indicating its potential technological applications in removing organic pollutants from actual industrial effluents.
