Abstract:A series of pitch-based Hyper cross-polymers (HCPs) were synthesized via the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction using pitch as material and dichloromethane (DCM) as solvent and external crosslinkers in the presence of AlCl3 (different products HCP-1, HCP-2, HCP-3, HCP-4 and HCP-5 were prepared by changing the amount of cross-linking agent). The prepared HCPs were characterized by FTIR, N2 adsorption-desorption, SEM and TGA. The results showed that DCM was successfully cross-linked with pitch, the highest specific surface area of HCPs is 467m2/g and its pore structure is mainly mesoporous. The HCPs have high thermal stability. The static adsorption results indicated that HCPs show better adsorption capacities for VOCs containing aromatic rings, esters and alcohols, the adsorption capacity of o-xylene is 437.89mg/g, and the adsorption capacity of methanol is 190.48mg/g. After five cycles of adsorption of o-xylene, the adsorption capacity of HCP-4 reached 91.51% of the first adsorption amount. HCP-4 is a promising candidate for the adsorption of aromatic ring-containing VOCs.
