Abstract
In the present article a comparative extraction efficiency of dichromate by a calix[4]arene derivative (d) and a newly synthesized calix[4]arene appended Amberlite XAD-4 resin (5) are reported. The liquid and solid phase extraction methods have been applied to ascertain the extraction efficiency of both the calix[4]arene derivative and the resin. Different parameters have been optimized such as pH, dosage, concentration, and temperature. Analysis of experimental data has been carried out by log-log plot analyses and the determination of characteristic parameters of each isotherm model such as Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R). The kinetic adsorption experiments show that the adsorption process follows pseudo second order kinetics. The adsorption mechanism has been investigated by Reichenberg (R-B) and Morris-Webster equations. From the thermodynamic parameters it is concluded that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous in nature at higher temperature. The results show that the resin-5 has good capability to efficiently remove dichromate from aqueous media.
