Fluoride Removal from Aqueous Solutions by Boehmite

Jiménez-Becerril, J. | Solache-Ríos, Marcos | García-Sosa, I.
Boehmite was used for the removal of fluoride ions from aqueous solutions in a batch system. The pH, contact time, and fluoride concentration in the removal of fluoride ions by boehmite were evaluated. The removal of fluoride ions by boehmite was the highest between the pH values of 4.5 and 7.5. The kinetic fluoride sorption from aqueous solutions by boehmite was best described by the pseudo-second-order model, and equilibrium was reached in about 24 h. The Freundlich model described the isotherm sorption process; the results indicate that the sorption mechanism is chemisorption on a heterogeneous material.
