Defluoridation of Water Using Bioadsorbents : Kinetic Study

Jain J. K. , Gupta Nidhi

Abstract :

The process of removal of excess fluoride from water is described as defluoridation. One of such method is adsorption. Present study has been conducted to investigate the efficiency of various treated natural adsorbents such as Guava leaf powder (GL), Neem leaf powder (NL), Neem bark powder (NB), Black Berry seed powder (BB), Rice husk (RH) and their same proportions as mixed bio-adsorbents. The experiment has followed batch process. The effect of contact time has been studied in detail. The adsorption kinetics has been to follow first order rate mechanism for RH, GL and NB but other adsorbents under study followed second order rate mechanism. All adsorbents followed Freundlich and Langmuir models.
