Elevated level of fluoride (> 1.0 mg/L) in drinking water leads to both dental and skeletal fluorides. Present research is dedicated to check the efficacy of duck shell dust towards removal of fluoride. Various analytical tools (XRF, XRD, SEM-EDAX and zero point charge) were used to characterize the present adsorbent. The entire batch mode study results were further optimized by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The results revealed that Langmuire isotherm is best fitted (R2 = 0.819) with adsorption capacity 4.894 mg/g. However, kinetic study suggest that the fluoride adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetic equation (R2 = 0.956). Similarly, thermodynamic study revealed that the fluoride adsorption by duck shell dust is endothermic and entropy driven process. Finally, optimization study demonstrated the optimized condition such as initial concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time and pH are 89.29 mg/L, 1.112 g/100 mL, 42.5 min and 9.91, respectively. Therefore, it may be concluded that duck shell dust could be a promising adsorbent for decontamination of fluoride from contaminated body.
