In this work, we present the possibility to reduce the amount of fluoride ions in silica gelwaste by using different techniques or to immobilize these ions by creating products ofcommercial value. The leaching of fluoride ions from silica gel waste to the liquid medium wasdone under static and dynamic conditions. It was determined that the removal of fluoride ionsfrom this compound depends on various factors, such as dissociation, solubility, the w/s ratio,reaction temperature, leaching conditions, the adsorption properties of silica gel waste, and others.The obtained results showed that, by applying different techniques, the quantity of fluoride ionscan be reduced by 60%, while obtained water was neutralized by calcium hydroxide.Additionally, it was determined that silica gel waste is a promising raw material for thehydrothermal synthesis of a stable compound containing fluoride ions – cuspidine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
