A combination of photochlorination ofp-xylene and succedent Friedel-Crafts alkylation polymerization was firstly used in the preparation of the hypercrosslinked adsorptive resin. The data of GC-MS and GC showed that a series of chlorizates were produced when p-xylene was photochlorinated. Hypercrosslinked resins could be synthesized by copolymerization, self-polymerization of chlorizates or post crosslinking reaction. The chemical structure and micromorphology of the porous resins were characterized by BET, FF-IR, SEM and elementary analysis (EA). The results showed that the novel adsorptive resins possess high BET surface near to 1038 m^2/g and large pore volumes range from 0.5 to 1.2 cm^3/g.

The suspension polymerization with two organic phases was adopted to prepare spherical hyper- crosslinked resin by self-polycondensation of 4,4'-bis-(chloromethyl)- 1, 1'-biphenyl (CMB). The chemical structure,morphology and pore characteristics of the novel spherical resin were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), micrograph and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). It is found that the suspension system and stirring speed impose a great influence upon the regularity and size distribution of hypercrosslinked beads. To prepare CMB resin beads with diameter of about 300 μm, the optimal condition is as follows: stirring speed 300 r·min^-1, and the volume ratio of the two organic phases (nitrobenzene/dimethyl silicon oil) 1 : 5. After the self-polycondensation and sqccedent post-crosslinking of CMB monomer, the spherical adsorbent presents high spec^al surface area (1190 m^2· g^-1) and abundant pore^volume (0.714 cm^3· g^-1), and could be potentially applied qn the adsorption of various organic molecules and synthesis of porous ion exchanger.
A fibrous strong base anion exchanger (QAPPS) was prepared for the first time via chloromethylation and quaternary amination reaction of polyphenylene sulfide fiber (PPS), and its physical-chemical structure and adsorption behavior for Cr(VI) were characterized by FT- IR, Energy Dispersive Spectrometry, TG-DTG, elemental analysis and batch adsorptive technique, respectively. The novel fibrous adsorbent could effectively adsorb Cr(VI) over the pH range 1-12, the maximum adsorption capacity was 166.39 mg/g at pH 3.5, and the adsorption behavior could be described well by Langmuir isotherm equation model. The adsorption kinetics was studied using pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order models, and the 4/2 and equilibrium adsorption time were 5 and 20 min respectively when initial Cr(VI) concentration was 100 mg/L. The saturated fibers could be regenerated rapidly by a mixed solution of 0.5 mol/L NaOH and 0.5 mol/L NaCl, and the adsorption capacity was well maintained after six adsorption-desorption cycles.
