The sorption of phenolic compounds from aqueous solution has been studied by using porous strongly basic anion exchangers based on styrene matrix. The sorption performance is governed by sorbate, sorbent and solution characteristics. The uptake is fast and reversible. However, the pH of aqueous solution of these compounds and the presence of electrolyte effects their sorption performance. The sorption of phenolic compounds by these porous strongly basic anion exchangers has been found to be reversible under dynamic conditions.
