Abstract
This communication describes preparation, characterization, and the evaluation of sorption properties of a calix[4]arene-based chitosan polymer (C[4]BCP). C[4]BCP was used to sorption studies of some heavy metal cations (Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+) and dichromate anions (Cr2O72−/HCr2O7−) as sorbent material. Also the supporting material (chitosan) was used for comparison in these experiments. The results for heavy metal cations showed that C[4]BCP was excellent sorbent and the effect of chitosan was low. In the sorption studies of dichromate anions, C[4]BCP was highly effective sorbent at pH 1.5.
