Abstract: An adsorption process to treat the wastewater from benzyl alcohol production with hyper-crosslinked macropore resin was studied.The factors, including pH, temperature, flow rate, desorption reagent, etc.that influenced the adsorption-desorption process were investigated.Based on the investigation, the process parameters for the treatment were optimized.The results showed the hyper-crosslinked macropore resin JX-101 exhibited excellent adsorption-desorption performance for benzyl alcohol.Through the fixed-bed adsorption process under optimal conditions, the concentration of benzyl alcohol in the wastewater was reduced from 14000 mg·L-1 to 25 mg·L-1 and COD was reduced from 34000 mg·L-1 to less than 100 mg·L-1.The removal rate of benzyl alcohol and COD was over 99%，and the effluent quality met National Discharge StandardⅠ.Furthermore, benzyl alcohol in the wastewater could be recovered, with purity of 85%.The process is convenient and could be steadily run, which provides the experimental basis for the treatment and resource reuse of benzyl alcohol production wastewater.
