Kinetics And Equilibrium Studies Of Fluoride Adsorption On Laterite And Kaolinite: Comparative Studies

Journal Title: RA Journal Of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 8

Abstract

The presence of a small amount of fluoride in drinking water is beneficial to human health but a high amount (>1,5 mg/L) has adverse effects. Laterite from Ngaoundere (Cameroon) was tested as a potential adsorbent for removing excess fluoride, and compared with kaolinite. Experiments were carried out by Jar test at room temperature (24 + 2°C), and the removal efficiencies of these materials studied with respect to time (0 - 180 min), stirring speed (60, 160 and 260 rpm), pH (4 - 10), adsorbent dose (1 – 10
