A novel magnetic weak acid resin NDMC-1 was prepared in the presence of methyl acrylate （MA）, divinylbenzene （DVB） and titanate coupling agent （TCA） coated γ-Fe203 particles. To evaluate the adsorption of Cu^2＋ on the obtained resin NDMC- 1, another two magnetic resins NDMC-0 （the precursor of NDMC-1 without hydrolyzation） and NDMO-1 （the synthesized weak acid resin using oleic acid coated γ-Fe2O3） were chosen for comparison. The results showed that the carboxyl groups were formed after hydrolyzation, and NDMC-1 exhibited a greater adsorption capacity to Cu2~. The desorption experiment demonstrated that the desorption ratio at pH 2 （95.14%） was greatly higher than pH 3 （25.97%）. Moreover, the magnetic resin NDMC-1 was proved to be stable at pH 2, extending the application of magnetic materials which were always considered to be acid-nor, resistant.

A novel, bifunctional, hypercrosslinked, magnetic resin W2 was prepared using divinylbenzene （DVB） and glycidyl methacrylate （GMA） as comonomers in three steps （i.e., suspension polymerization, amination and post-crosslinking reactions）. To evaluate the adsorption of natural organic matter （NOM） and organic micropollutants （OMPs） on the obtained resin W2, two magnetic resins W1 （the precursor of W2 before post-crosslinking） and W0 （the precursor of W1 before amination） were chosen for comparison. The results indicated that W2 would be a promising material for the removal of both NOM and OMPs from aquatic environments.
