Dendritic amphiphile mediated porous monolith for eliminating organic micropollutants from water

Abstract

Few adsorbents with a macroscopic size can combine well with a 3D microscopically well-tailored surface. Herein, we show that a dendritic amphiphile can directly lead to such an adsorbent, which can simultaneously eliminate anionic dyes, anionic surfactants and hydrophobic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water.
