Porous resins have been used to sorb organic residues in industrial wastewaters for over four decades. A survey of literature revealed that these resins have surface areas up to 1500m2/g, and may be tailor made to selectively sorb certain groups of organic chemicals. Resins may be regenerated, upon saturation, on site at ambient temperature by solvent elution, or by other means such as pH adjustment, microwave, or steam. The organic chemicals are desorbed from the resin, during regeneration, and may be recovered for reuse. This paper reviews literature related to the applications of these porous resin sorbents for the removal and recovery of organic chemicals from wastewater, their syntheses and physicochemical properties, as well as their sorption characteristics and mechanisms. Sorption data scattered in literature are compiled, methods of resin regeneration and recovery of organic chemicals for reuse are discussed, and case studies of full-scale industrial applications in both the United States and China are presented.

综述了近10多年来应用大孔树脂吸附法处理各种含酚工业废水的研究成果和应用实例，包括各种废水的由来与概况、处理工艺条件和应用效果。结果表明，吸附树脂具有吸附效果好、脱附再生容易、性能稳定、适用范围宽、实用性好、可实现综合利用等特点，是处理含酚工业废水的有效方法。

本文用邻硝基乙苯为溶剂，替代工业上常用的剧毒的硝基苯对氯甲基化聚苯乙烯（简称氯球）进行付氏后交联反应，详细地研究了反应条件如:反应温度、催化剂的种类及用量等对树脂孔结构性能的影响。并在最佳反应条件下进行放大实验，合成出的后交联树脂的比表面为817m2/g，孔容为0.727ml/g，平均孔径为10.9nm。

本文用大孔吸附树脂CHA-111处理五氯酚钠（PCP—Na）生产废水，其中PCP-Na含量为10000-15000mg/l，CODCr高达11000mg/l。经中和沉淀-树脂吸附法处理，处理量为12BV，吸附流出液中五氯酚（PCP）含量＜1.1mg/L，PCP去除率＞99%,CODCr 总去除率＞80%。树脂脱附液经酸化处理，可回收PCP。
