The characterization of DMAM-calixarene-tethered textile fabric was performed by FTIR and XPS spectroscopy. Cr(VI) solutions was passed over packed DMAMcalixarene-tethered textile fabric adsorbent and the highest adsorption was observed at pH 2 in dichromate anion form of COS. The regeneration and selectivity studies indicate that the DMAM-calixarene-tethered textile fabric has outstanding adsorbent features in used experimental conditions for hexavalent chromium. Moreover, it was observed that both H-bonding and electrostatic interactions were significant factors in the dichromate anion adsorption process. Thus, this study clearly revealed that any DMAM-calixarene-tethered textile fabric can be easily used as a selective hexavalent chromium capture filter in geographic regions lacking appropriate wastewater purification systems.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessIcvdWater PollutionHexavalent ChromiumTextileCalixareneAdsorptionChemical-Vapor-DepositionCopolymer Thin-FilmsPolymer Inclusion MembraneExtraction AbilityPhenolic-CompoundsArene DerivativesHeavy-MetalsLower RimCr(Vi)AdsorptionArticle10.1016/j.colsurfa.2021.1270452-s2.0-85110111669
