Abstract
A system for sustained release of phenolic material into a fluid from phenolic complexes of water-insoluble, but water-swellable crosslinked N-vinyllactam or N-alkyl-N-vinylamide polymers in the form of porous beads or granules. The complexes, which are particularly suited for use in situations wherein fluids containing phenolic materials in limited quantities are desired, and are provided by leaching a limited amount of phenolic material from the complex by contacting the porous granules in a container, such as in a canister or column which is used to treat liquids or water.
