Removal of perfluorooctanoic acid from water with economical mesoporous melamine-formaldehyde resin microsphere

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances are priority contaminants of global concern. It is urgent to remove them from the environment. Adsorption is an efficient approach, but the adsorption capacity and regeneration of adsorbent were not satisfactory. In the present study, mesoporous melamine-formaldehyde resin microsphere (MMFRS) was fabricated through suspension polymerization. Owing to its mesoporous property and large anion-exchange...
