Defluorination Of Drinking Water Using Coalesced And Un Coalesced Mica

Abstract This is a sorption study that focused on the use of mica clay mineral grouped into mica untreated, activated mica at 800 °C, mica impregnated separately with iron and aluminium for defuoridation of water. In this study, characterization of adsorbent was done by using XRF and XRD and quantifcation of fuoride by using fuoride ion selective electrode. Characterization of adsorbent showed the presence of SiO2, CaO, P2O5, Fe2O3 and Al2O3 in the adsorbent. XRD exhibited higher compositi...
