PcCo-network-PIM

Network-PIMs can adsorb phenol from aqueous solution. Hence, they can be used for the separation of organic compounds from the aqueous phase. This process can also be utilised for the separation of phenol from waste water. One such example is HATN-network-PIM, which can adsorb up to 5 mmol g . This material can also efficiently remove a low concentration of phenol from water. Another such example is PcCo-network-PIM. These network-PIMs behave like activated carbon. In contrast, PcCo-network-PIM cannot adsorb large dyes [e.g., Napthol Green B) like activated carbons. This distinct size exclusion effect is due to its small pore size. ...
