Geomaterials as Cost Effective Sorbent to Remove Fluoride from Water

Article Preview

Abstract:

As a regulated contaminants, fluorine compounds impact the health of millions of persons around the world. Adsorption method is employed to remove fluoride ions from a synthetic water using concrete waste materials as a low cost adsorbent and to evaluate its feasibility as an alternative agent to eliminate fluoride ions in aqueous solution. Influence of pH, concrete particles dosage, agitation speed, fluoride initial concentration and contact time on F⁻ removal were investigated by using batch mode. Fluoride removal has been obtained over a wide range (3-11). The rate of adsorption was rapid at the first 4 hours, while the equilibrium has been reached within 9 hrs. The desorption study revealed that fluoride adsorption onto concrete particles was chemical in nature. The kinetic of adsorption was fitted well with second-order rate model, while the adsorption behavior obeyed Freundlich model. This study obviously presents the applicability of concrete particles as low cost adsorbent to eliminate fluoride from water.
