To approximate conditions defluoridation groundwater, during this work, we are interested in the study of the influence of the presence of ions -counter on the ability of removing fluoride ions by chitosan. Also we searched the optimal conditions for the desorption using a basic solution. In light of this study, we observed that a NO 3 -and HCO 3 -share are the real competitors to the removal of fluoride on chitosan. And secondly, Desorption of fluoride from saturated support is possible and efficient with the addition of NaOH in our optimal desorption conditions.
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.
