TI  - A biomimetic absorbent for removal of trace level persistent organic pollutants 
      from water.
PG  - 337-42
AB  - A novel biomimetic absorbent containing the lipid triolein was developed for 
      removing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from water. The structural 
      characteristics of the absorbent were obtained by SEM and a photoluminescence 
      method. Under optimum preparation conditions, triolein was perfectly embedded in 
      the cellulose acetate (CA) spheres, the absorbent was stable and no triolein 
      leaked into the water. Dieldrin, endrin, aldrin and heptachlor epoxide were 
      effectively removed by the CA--triolein absorbent in laboratory batch 
      experiments. This suggests that CA-triolein absorbent may serve as a good 
      absorbent for those selected POPs. Triolein in the absorbent significantly 
      increased the absorption capacity, and lower residual concentrations of POPs were 
      achieved when compared to the use of cellulose acetate absorbent. The absorption 
      rate for lipophilic pollutants was very fast and exhibited some relationship with 
      the octanol--water partition coefficient of the analyte. The absorption mechanism 
      is discussed in detail.
