Modified Hyper-crosslinked Resins for Textile Wastewater Treatment

In this work, a new synthetic route is exploited to functionalize high surface area hyper-crosslinked resins by introducing amino groups into the hyper-crosslinked aromatic structure. The proposed functionalization aims to enhance the adsorption properties of the resin towards aromatic polar compounds, such as textile dyes. The obtained adsorbent was tested for the decontamination of wastewater from Indigo Carmine, used as model polar dye of the textile industry.
