Phenolic compounds, which are one of the most dangerous compounds for the environment, are present in many effluents of various industries such as petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, and the need to eliminate these compounds is increasingly felt. In this study, adsorption of three compounds of para-chlorophenol, para-nitrophenol and hydroquinone on polypyrrole adsorbent in the form of neutral, charged, copolymer with polyaniline and phosphorus-doped have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT). Calculations are performed at two levels of b3lyp/6-31+G(d,p) and wb97xd/631+G(d,p) for two different orientations of adsorbate molecules that the correlation-exchange function wb97xd...
