Abstract

The fluoride ion (F) is widely used in different industries, including the semi-conductor, power plant, and glass product industries, and is released into the environment through effluents. Accordingly, the effectiveness of chitosan in the adsorption of F from water was evaluated in this study. At different concentrations of F, the significance of contact duration, pH, and adsorbent dose was examined in laboratory conditions. To understand the mode of adsorption and its kinetics, the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms and the pseudo-first-order, the pseudosecond order, and the intraparticle diffusion model equations for the equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed. The results for the adsorption of F onto chitosan were best described by the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second order models with the correlation values for both being 0.997. A contact time of 180 min, an adsorbent dosage of 5 g/L, and a pH of 7 were considered to be the optimal operational conditions and gave a fluoride removal efficiency of 87%. We conclude that, fluoride adsorption by chitosan can effectively remove fluoride from water. © 2018, ISFR.
