Boron removal by glucamine-functionalized inverse vulcanized sulfur polymer

Boron removal by novel sulfur-based boron selective adsorbent is herein reported. The sulfur-based polymer prepared by the inverse vulcanization of sulfur and 4-vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) under optimized reaction conditions was used as a substrate and further functionalized by N-methyl-D-glucamine (...
