Abstract

Porous adsorption resin is one of the widely applied materials for removal of hazards from aqueous solution. The separation effect of resin is controlled by several interaction mechanisms, including sieving effect, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds interaction. Resin pore size was reported to play an important role in the sieving effect of separation mechanism, which makes tailored pore size be considered as the main characteristic of next generation adsorbent. Here, we reviewed several widely used adsorption models and paid more attention to their potential values of calculating resin pore size for specialized target. We believe that this review is of certain significance and improvement of novel adsorption resins with tailored pore size.
