Adsorption of Fluoride from Water Solution on Bone Char

TLDR
In this article, the effects of solution pH and temperature on the adsorption of fluoride onto bone char made from cattle bones were investigated, and it was found that the maximum adaption took place at pH 3.
Abstract
The effects of solution pH and temperature on the adsorption of fluoride onto bone char made from cattle bones were investigated in this work. It was found that the maximum adsorption took place at pH 3 and the adsorption capacity decreased nearly 20 times augmenting the pH from 3 to 12. This behavior was attributed to the electrostatic interactions between the surface of bone char and the fluoride ions in solution. The adsorption capacity was not influenced by temperature in the range from 15 to 35 °C. A comparison of fluoride adsorption capacities among several adsorbents revealed that the adsorption capacity of the bone char was 2.8 and 36 times greater than those of a commercial activated alumina (F-1) and a commercial activated carbon (F-400). The adsorption capacity is considerably dependent upon the physicochemical properties of the bone char surface and the solution pH.

Coupling UV irradiation and electrocoagulation for reclamation of urban wastewater

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of current density on process performance was evaluated, finding a synergistic interaction of both techniques at low current density (1.44 ǫm−2) but an antagonistic effect at higher values of current densities (7.20 a m−2), caused by the less efficient transmission of UV irradiation to the bulk solution due to the increase in the concentration of solids.

Adsorption kinetics of fluoride on low cost materials

TL;DR: The data suggested that Calcite has been seen as a good adsorbent in fluoride removal and has been patented, but its adsorption capacity is only better than quartz, and the external mass transfer is a very slow and rate-determining step during fluoride removal from the aqueous solution.
