Abstract

To separate Cs(I) from highly active liquid waste, a macroporous silica-based 25, 27-bis(iso-propyloxy)calix[4]arene-26,28-crown-6 (BiPCalix[4]C6) supramolecular recognition material, BiPCalix[4]C6/SiO2–P, was synthesized and characterized by SEM, FT-IR, and TG-DSC. The adsorption properties of BiPCalix[4]C6/SiO2–P and a macroporous polymer-based supramolecular recognition composite, BiPCalix[4]C6/XAD-7, were compared. It was found that BiPCalix[4]C6/SiO2–P exhibited better adsorption ability and faster adsorption dynamics than BiPCalix[4]C6/XAD-7. The adsorption isotherm of Cs(I) onto BiPCalix[4]C6/SiO2–P was studied at 298 K and it was well described by Langmuir isotherm model. The complex composition between BiPCalix[4]C6/SiO2–P and Cs(I) was determined as 1:1 type by investigating the effect of the concentrations of BiPCalix[4]C6, Cs(I), and H+ on the adsorption. Meanwhile, the selectivity of BiPCalix[4]C6/SiO2–P towards Na(I), K(I), Rb(I), Cs(I), Sr(II), Ba(II), Ru(III), Mo(VI), La(III), and Y(III) was investigated.
