Abstract

The present disclosure relates to charge-bearing polymeric materials and methods of their use for purifying fluid samples from micropollutants, such as anionic micropollutants.

Claims (38)

wherein a is 0-100 and x is 1-100, and each arylene or heteroarylene moiety can be substituted or unsubstituted;

each Z is —N(Me) 3 ;

each L is

A′ is a covalent bond to A;

Z′ is a covalent bond to Z;

* is a covalent bond to ;

9. The porous polymeric material of claim 8 , wherein the linker comprising formula (I) has the following structure

wherein the oxygen atom denoted with the * is a glycosidic oxygen from one of the plurality of cyclodextrins.

10. A method of purifying a fluid sample comprising one or more pollutants, the method comprising contacting the fluid sample with the porous polymeric material of claim 9 , whereby at least 50 wt. % of the total amount of the one or more pollutants in the fluid sample is adsorbed by the porous polymeric material.

11. The porous polymeric material of claim 5 , wherein the aryl diisocyanate crosslinker is toluene 2,4-diisocyanate, the aryl moiety is

and x and y 3 are each 0.

12. The porous polymeric material of claim 11 , wherein each instance of —W—Z is taken together to form
