p-sulfonated calix[4]arene functionalized chitosan hydrogel beads have been successfully prepared by mixing p-sulfonated calix[4]arene and chitosan in dilute acetic acid  solution (1% v/v), followed by dropping the mixture into sodium hydroxide solution to form beads with diameters of ~0.1 cm. The presence of the active sulfonate groups and the unique structure of calixarene render the material useful as an adsorbent for heavy metal ions. Metal adsorption on p-sulfonated calix[4]arene is possible through a combination of physical and ionic interactions. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) results showed that the amount of adsorbed metal ion is optimum at 10 ppm for all samples. The overall percentage of metal ion removal shows that p-sulfonated calix[4]arene modified chitosan is the best adsorbent with up to 98% removal achieved for Pb(II) and 90% removal for Zn(II). This is followed by p-sulfonated calix[4]arene and graphene oxide (GO) modified chitosan with up to 90% removal for Pb(II)  and 89% removal for Zn(II) and pure chitosan hydrogel beads with up to 60% removal for both Pb(II)  and Zn(II). The results clearly prove that the presence of p-sulfonated calix[4]arene can enhance the adsorption of heavy metal ions. In addition, the adsorbent shows higher Pb(II) removal compared to Zn(II).

Most countries worldwide face the problem related to clean and safe water. The major source of contamination of water bodies includes the discharges of wastes from various domestic and industrial sources (heavy metal ions, dyes, and pharmaceuticals). To overcome those problems, various water purification methods such as coagulation, flocculation, adsorption, membrane separation, biological, and electrochemical methods have been engaged. Adsorption using nano-biosorbents based on chitin, chitosan and modified chitosan, cellulose, alginate, micro algal has emerged as a better alternative for the removal of contaminants from drinking and wastewater treatment. The main advantages of these nano-biosorbents include its biodegradability and eco-friendliness, which have attracted researchers to this field.

The article presents the results of researches of zeolite modification in order to create sorbents for wastewater treatment from heavy metal ions. Zeolitive tuffs of deposit of the Zabaikalye Territory are considered as raw materials. It is proposed to modify zeolites with highly organosilicon compounds hexamethyldisilazane [(CH3)3Si]2NH and tetraethoxysilane (С2H5O)4Si, which leads to hydrophobization of the surface and an increase in adsorption capacity. A method for modifying the structure of natural zeolite with a sulfur-containing polymer obtained from waste products of epichlorohydrin, the main component of which is 1,2,3-trichloropropane, is described in more detail. A sulfur-containing polymer network is formed by using sulfur dissolution at room temperature in the monoethanolamine – hydrazine hydrate system and condensation with 1,2,3-trichloropropane. The result of applying a sulfur-containing polymer network is not only hydrophobization of the zeolite surface, but also the appearance of sulfur atoms in its composition, which increases the selectivity to heavy metal ions. Based on the obtained experimental data, the method of improvement the existing technologies for wastewater treatment at enterprises (railway transport) by introducing a deep post-treatment into the sorption unit scheme is proposed.
