Abstract: The invention concerns derivatives of calixarene having the formula:
in which:
R1 represents various hydrocarbon groups,
R2 and R3 represent an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl group or a group having the formula: O(CH2)n[O(CH2)p]q OR4, or form a heterocyclic group with the nitrogen atom, and,
n equals 6, 7 or 8.
These derivatives can be used for extracting strontium from aqueous solutions.
