The present investigation represents the synthesis of new p-sulphonatocalix[8]arene-based silica resin, p-SC8SR (5) and its application for the enhanced removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from contaminated water. The new p-SC8SR (5) resin was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, and EDX spectroscopy. The ad...
