An efficient calix[4]arene based silica sorbent for the removal of endosulfan from water

Adsorption of paraquat on soil organic matter: Effect of exchangeable cations and dissolved organic carbon

“…Some pesticides have a tendency to leach through the soil profile and contaminate the groundwater as well as surface waters and may have adverse effects on human health. Sorption is found to be one of the best methods for the removal of organic pollutants, which favors the development of new synthetic and economically good adsorbents for the removal of organic pollutants [1,2].…”

Syntheses and reactivity of calixarenes functionalized at meso positions

“…Since the investigation of calixarenes dealing with their syntheses, reactivity and a large variety of applications is very intense, [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70] only selected examples of considered compounds are described in this review.…”

Functionalization reactions of calixarenes

“…153 The works aiming to use calixarenes for construction of systems adsorbing gases such as hydrogen, 154 or methane, 155 are of interest in the field of energetics, and the development of these investigations is expected. A growing attention is paid today to a wide range of sensors, 156,157 as well as to removal of undesired compounds from industrial waste, [158][159][160] this research area being strongly connected with the environment protection.…”
