Two polymeric adsorbents, poly(methyl p-vinylbenzyl ether) and poly(phenyl p-vinylbenzyl ether), were synthesized from chloromethylated polystyrene. Their adsorption property for phenol in hexane solution was investigated. The results showed that the two adsorbents adsorb phenol from hexane solution through hydrogen-bonding and π-π stacking interaction.
