Synthesis of anion polyacrylamide under UV initiation and its application in removing dioctyl phthalate from water through flocculation process

- Excellent Flocculant was successfully synthesized through UV-initiation technique.
- UV and thermal initiation was compared to reveal the role of UV in polymerization.
- Removal of DOP was realized by flocculation process with synthetic flocculants.
- The possible flocculation mechanism was analyzed.
