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...
Increase in population and change in lifestyle has created water scarcity in many parts of the country. Microstructures for rainwater harvesting, artificial recharge and reuse of water are becoming more and more popular to solve the local water problems, to mitigate water shortage and improve water quality.
