HA-1 Macroporous Adsorption Resin: An Optimal Sorbent for Phenolic Compound Recovery from Industrial Wastewater

Written by: wuchengyu Published:2025-8-5

HA-1 macroporous adsorption resin is a high-performance polymeric adsorbent renowned for its exceptional efficiency in industrial wastewater treatment and phenolic compound recycling. As a non-polar spherical polymer, it combines a large specific surface area with precisely engineered pore structures, making it a preferred choice for removing and recovering phenolic compounds from complex aqueous streams.

Unique Properties of HA-1 Macroporous Adsorption Resin

HA-1 stands out due to its tailored physical and chemical characteristics, optimized for targeted adsorption of phenolic substances. Key technical specifications (per manufacturer data) include:

PropertySpecification
AppearanceBrown opaque spherical particles
Particle Size (0.315-1.25mm)≥95%
Water Content50-60%
Wet Bulk Density0.65-0.75 g/ml
Wet True Density1.05-1.10g/ml

Structural Advantages

  • Non-polar Polymer Matrix: Composed of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers, HA-1 exhibits strong hydrophobic interactions with phenolic compounds, enabling selective adsorption even in high-salt matrices.
  • Optimized Pore Architecture: Its large specific surface area and well-distributed pores facilitate rapid mass transfer, ensuring high adsorption capacity and fast equilibrium kinetics.
  • Mechanical Stability: The rigid spherical structure minimizes attrition during column operation.

Applications in Industrial Wastewater Treatment

HA-1 macroporous adsorption resin plays a critical role in industrial wastewater treatment, particularly for streams containing phenolic pollutants—common byproducts of petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and coking processes.

Phenolic Compound Removal

Phenolic wastewater, often containing 100-2000 mg/L of phenol and its derivatives, poses severe environmental risks due to toxicity and persistence. HA-1 effectively reduces phenol levels to <0.5 mg/L, meeting strict discharge standards such as the U.S. EPA’s limit for phenolic compounds in inland waters.

  • In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it efficiently separates chlorophenols from process streams, reducing raw material waste by 35%.

compliance and Industry Standards

HA-1 meets global regulatory requirements for wastewater treatment. For instance:

  • Chinese National Standard (GB 31571-2015): Complies with strict emission limits for phenolic compounds in petrochemical wastewater, supporting green manufacturing certifications.

Conclusion

HA-1 macroporous adsorption resin represents a sustainable solution for industrial wastewater treatment and recycling phenolic products. Its unique combination of high adsorption capacity, selectivity, and regenerability makes it indispensable for industries seeking to reduce environmental impact while unlocking economic value from waste streams. By integrating HA-1 into wastewater management workflows, industries can achieve both regulatory compliance and resource circularity, aligning with global sustainability goals.
