Abstract

Read online

The performance of adsorbents for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) removal often suffers from long equilibrium times, weak binding affinities and poor stability. Here the authors report a highly efficient PFOA adsorbents by functionalizing porous organic polymers with electrostatic and hydrophobic binding sites.
