Ravi Kant Elimination of Fluoride From Water Using Natural Adsorbent Pistacia vera (Pista Shell)

Abstract

The availability of clean water for human consumption is a universally acknowledged human right and an essential component of human flourishing. One of the quality characteristics which is of concern when it comes to water is fluoride. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a limit of 1.5 mg / L for fluoride ion because of the harm it can do to living things’ teeth and bones. The current research aims to examine the efficacy of the natural adsorbent Pistacia vera (Pista shell) in removing fluoride ions from water-based solutions or samples. The most efficient and thorough elimination of fluoride ions was the focus of the controlled trials. It was noted that the fluoride ion was most effectively removed up to 60% when the pH was neutral, specifically 7.0. Additionally, the significance of temperature in the removal of fluoride ions from water was established. The fluoride was successfully eliminated, according to EDAX. To find the greatest fit, we also looked at kinetic and isotherm models.
