Abstract

Due to toxicity, persistent nature, bioaccumulation of fluoride ions and its alarming rise in different parts of India, it has become of utmost importance for the synthesis of an efficient material to remove fluoride ions from groundwater. This article reports the synthesis of highly efficient defluoridation carbon and alumina composite materials (CACM). A series of six samples were synthesized by deposition precipitation method and characterized using various techniques like XRD, BET surface area, pore size distribution, FT-IR, CO2 chemisorption and CO2 temperature programmed desorption (TPD) studies. Their efficiency of defluoridation activity was evaluated and observed that CACM 25 adsorbent exhibited excellent defluoridation activity of 98%.
