Chromium(VI) is a widely used industrial chemical, and is generally considered to pose a greatest human health risk because it is more toxic, more soluble, and more mobile than chromium(III). Workers in industries that use chromium, in particular stainless steel welding, chromate production, chromium plating, and chrome pigment industries, where exposure via inhalation of aerosols is primarily to hexavalent chromium, are at increased risk of chromium effects. In this article we demonstrate various studies regarding remediation methods in particular liquid-liquid extraction of chromate and dichromate anions with various functionalized calixarenes. This review article briefly discusses various molecular designs of calixarene-type macrocycles for chromium(VI) oxoanion recognition, and gives examples on the relationship between structure and selectivity. The article does not, however, attempt to cover all of the different approaches to chromium(VI) extraction. A review with 73 references.

Several commercially available adsorbents were compared with solvent extraction methods for their utility in recovering trace organics from water. The adsorbents examined included Amberlite XAD-2, XAD-4 and XAD-8, Ambersorb XE340 and XE348 and Tenax-GC. All were found to produce high artifact levels, even after extensive clean-up, making them unsuitable for the analysis of trace organics in water. Quantitatively, Likens-Nickerson or continuous liquid-liquid extraction with méthylene chloride gave better recoveries than the adsorbents. Qualitatively, extractive methods were preferred as they yielded much lower levels of impurities than the adsorbents. These methods of recovering trace organics were evaluated using a standard mixture of compounds added to the water at a level of 55 µg/l. Likens-Nickerson extraction gave comparable recoveries of this mixture at 55 µg/l and 11 µg/l.
