An insoluble polymeric network containing cyclodextrins (CDs) and amino, hydroxyl and carboxylic groups, was used for the detoxification of multicontaminated wastewaters. The comparison of its sorption capacity with that of a similarly prepared starch material showed superior efficiency towards orga...
