Abstract
Adsorption resins are synthetic polymers that rely on their adsorption effect to achieve concentration and separation of organic substances. Adsorption resins are becoming more and more important in various fields due to their stable physicochemical properties and better adsorption performance. As one of the important atmospheric pollutants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been studied intensively by adsorption of VOCs such as activated carbon. In recent years, adsorption resins, with their more suitable pore structure, higher specific surface area and better hydrophobicity, have also gradually become a research hotspot in the field of VOCs treatment, and have shown good application prospects. Therefore, in this paper, the preparation and modification methods of adsorption resin were reviewed by summarizing the relevant literature in recent years; Molecular dynamics simulation of adsorption resin; Study on the adsorption of different kinds of VOCs by adsorption resin; The main problems that affect the performance of VOCs adsorption resin are discussed, and the existing problems and the future development of VOCs adsorption resin are prospected.
