Abstract
New adsorbents, glycopolymers (GP) based on plant polysaccharide konjac glucomannan (KGM) cross-linked with blocked diisocyanates: 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate (TDI), 4,4′-methylene bis (phenyl isocyanate) (MDI) or polyisocyanate (PIC) were synthesized and used for phenol adsorption from water solutions. The influence of isocyanate structure and functionality, polysaccharide hydroxyl group substitution degree, phenol concentration and pH solution on GP adsorption capacity was investigated.
