Although water-insoluble cyclodextrin-epichlorohydrin polymers have been known for half a century, these materials are of continued interest to the scientific community, in particular for their interesting environmental applications as sorbents in liquid-solid sorption processes. However, in spite of the abundance of literature and conclusive results obtained at the laboratory scale, interpreting the mechanisms of pollutant elimination remains an interesting source of debate and sometimes of contradiction. This review summarizes and discusses the various mechanisms proposed in the literature. A distinction was made in the description of these interactions depending on whether the polymer structures were modified or not.

尽管水不溶性环糊精-表氯醇聚合物已经存在了半个世纪，但这些材料一直受到科学界的关注，特别是因为它们在液-固吸附过程中作为吸附剂在环境方面的应用非常有趣。然而，尽管有大量的文献资料和在实验室规模上获得的结论性结果，但解释污染物消除的机制仍然是引起争论甚至有时引起矛盾的有趣原因。这篇综述总结并讨论了文献中提出的各种机制。在这些相互作用的描述中，取决于聚合物结构是否被修饰而有所区别。
