Rapid and selective recovery of palladium from platinum group metals and base metals using a thioamide-modified calix[4]arene extractant in environmentally friendly hydrocarbon fluids.

ABSTRACT: A novel macrocyclic calix[4]arene extractant having a long alkyl chain thioamide, 25,26,27,28-tetrakis(N-n-octylthiocarbamoyl)methoxy-5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (1), was synthesized from 25,26,27,28-tetrakis(N-n-octylcarbamoyl)methoxy-5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (2) using Lawesson's reagent. Extractant 1 was characterized using ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The Pd(II) extraction abilities of 1 and 2 were studied in high-boiling-point and environmentally friendly hydrocarbon diluents. Pd(II) extraction experiments were conducted using single-metal Pd(II) solutions, simulated mixed palladium group metal (PGM) solutions, and acid-leached automotive catalyst residue solutions.
