Abstract:The calyx [4] arene was synthesized and connected to Amberlite XAD-4 resin covalently through a diazotization bound. The structure of Amberlite XAD-4 resin base on calyx [4] arene was characterized using FT-IR, SEM and TG/DTA. The sorption results showed that Amberlite XAD-4 resin base on calyx [4] arene had much better removal to the diclofenac in aqueous solutions than Amberlite XAD-4 resin and calyx [4] arene which were presence alone in aqueous solutions. The removal rate of diclofenac increased rapidly with the calyx [4] arene modified Amberlite XAD-4 resin dosage. In the condition of DCF concentration was 20mg/L, when the Amberlite XAD-4 resin base on calyx [4] arene dosage came up to 80mg/L, the removal rate of diclofenac was 92.8% and reached equilibrium, the corresponding amount adsorbed was 34.02mg/g. Kinetic analyses were conducted using pseudo first-order and second-order models. The linear correlation coefficients and standard deviations of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were determined, and the results revealed that Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm were ?tted the experimental data well. The thermodynamic parameters calculated indicated, ΔH and ΔG were negative, which predicated adsorption process of diclofenac on f Amberlite XAD-4 resin base on calyx [4] arene resin was exothermic and spontaneous.
