“…In relation to traditional adsorbents such as silica and activated carbon, polymeric resins are a more attractive alternative, due to the possibility of preparing tailor-made materials by controlling the synthesis conditions [1,3,4] . Polymeric resins based on divinylbenzene copolymers such as poly (N-vinylpyrrolidonedivinylbenzene, poly (styrene-divinylbenzene) modified with amine, hypercrosslinked polymeric resin (MN200), Amberlite XAD-4, crosslinked poly-4-vinylpyridine and poly(methylmethacrylate-divinylbenzene) have been evaluated for removing phenolic compounds from wastewater [2,[5][6][7][8][9] . Although magnetic composite materials have a wide range of potential technological applications, such as water treatment, cell labeling, cell separation, enzyme immunoassaying and drug targeting, the evaluation of this type of material for extraction of phenolic compounds has not been sufficiently studied [10][11][12][13][14] .…”
