AQMPs with the longest alkyl side chain remove bromate (BrO3−) up to 84.6% in complex waters with multiple competing anions across a wide concentration range.
- Why it matters: Bromate and iodate are disinfection byproducts that are difficult to capture selectively in real, interference-rich waters, limiting reliable drinking-water control.
- What they did: The study benchmarked abundant quaternary ammonium magnetic polymers (AQMPs) against D201 and MIEX resins across tap, river, and ozone-treated estuarine waters, including in situ ozone-generated BrO3− (44.7%–88.3%).
- The result: AQMPs showed significantly higher uptake selectivity for both BrO3− and IO3− than the commercial resins, with stronger non-covalent interactions for BrO3− and gel-type AQMPs less affected by humic acid.
