Macroporous Poly(calcium acrylate−divinylbenzene) Bead A Selective Orthophosphite Sorbent
TL;DR: In this paper, an anion sorbent was developed that could offer chemically recognizable affinity with orthophosphite (H2PO3-) species from a binary aqueous solution containing hypophosphites as another solute, and the porosity and pore size of the beads were adjusted primarily through the variation of the molar ratio DVB/MA and the use of a specific porogen system.
