Access to clean drinking water is a recognized societal need that touches on the health and livelihood of millions of people worldwide. This is providing an incentive to develop new water-treatment technologies. Traditional technologies, while widespread, are usually inefficient at removing organic pollutants from sewage or so-called grey water. Macrocycle-containing covalent polymer networks have begun to attract attention in the context of water treatment owing to the inherent stability provided by the polymer backbones and their ability to capture micropollutant guests as the result of tunable macrocycle-based host-guest interactions. In this Minireview, we summarize recent advances (from 2016 to mid-2020) involving the removal of organic micropollutants from water using macrocycle-containing covalent polymer networks. An overview of future challenges within this subfield is also provided.
获得清洁饮用水是一项公认的社会需求，关系到全球数百万人的健康和生计。这为开发新的水处理技术提供了动力。传统技术虽然应用广泛，但通常无法有效地去除污水或所谓的灰水中的有机污染物。大环含共价聚合物网络由于聚合物主链提供的固有稳定性及其作为基于大环的主客体相互作用的结果捕获微污染物客体的能力，在水处理方面引起了关注。在这篇综述中，我们总结了 2016 年至 2020 年中期期间使用大环含共价聚合物网络从水中去除有机微污染物的最新进展。还概述了该子领域内未来的挑战。
