Abstract

We develop a model that captures the dominant chemical mechanisms involved in the removal of fluoride from drinking water by a novel adsorbent which comprises mineral rich carbon (MRC) and chemically treated mineral rich carbon (TMRC). Working with experimental data, we validate this model for both MRC and TMRC. The model herein derived is based on the chemical composition of TMRC and MRC and shows good agreement with our experiments.
