Popis: Extensive use of antibiotics in the world will cause potential risks to human health and ecosystems. The removal of these antibiotics has attracted much attention. Composite materials are growing attention for diverse pollutants separation and removal based on their specific functionality and surface area. In this study, a series of N-vinylpyrrolidone-divinylbenzene polymers (NVPD) with different N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) contents were facilely prepared for the adsorption of tetracycline (TC). The effect of polymer surface properties and aqueous solution chemistry (pH, ionic strength, humic acid) on TC adsorption was further studied. The dynamic adsorption and regeneration experiments were also assessed. The results showed that only 25% of NVP was involved in the reaction. When NVP dosage (%) was 75%, polymer (NVPD-g) owned the largest BET surface area (613.23 m
