Surface modified Cerium(IV)-incorporated hydrous Fe(III) oxide (CIHFO) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) nanocomposite (βC-CIHFO) has been developed by in-situ wet chemical deposition method and characterized by means of some analytical tools such as FTIR, XRD,OM, SEM-EDX, TEM-EDX, AFM, TG-DTA and BET surface area analyses, resembled the irregular and undulated surface morphology consisting of microcrystals (∼2-3 nm) and mesoporous (∼6.022 nm) structure confirm surface amended CIHFO with β-CD. Enhanced fluoride adsorption capacity of βC-CIHFO (107.62 mg g) than pure CIHFO (32.62 mg g) at pH 7.0 is due to the plenty of surface -OH groups of β-CD, which plays a crucial role in enhancing fluoride adsorption capacity of CIHFO. Kinetic studies obeyed pseudo-second order kinetics and multilayer adsorption process, respectively. The adsorption process is reasonably spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Minute amount of βC-CIHFO (1.8 g L) can effectively treat fluoride containing natural groundwater samples (9.05 mg L) and achieved desirable permissible level in a while. The adsorbent was magnificently regenerated up to 75.19% with a solution of pH 13.0, and can be reused up to five cycles ensures sustainable use of proposed adsorbent for fluoride removal from aqueous media.

Polysilicate-ferric-calcium-lanthanum (PSFCL) was synthesized through a co-polymerization method in order to treat the yellow phosphorus wastewater. Its morphology, composition and functional group were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The optimization of the flocculant was also investigated, including La/Si molar ratio, pH, agitation time, dosage and sedimentation time.

Al(III)-based adsorbents have a strong affinity for F, but suffer from problems such as poor structural stability, easy decomposition, and recycling difficulties in the powdered form. Herein, for the efficient removal of F from wastewater, magnetic chitosan/AlOOH/polyethyleneimine (MCAlP) adsorbents with a hierarchical porous structure, multifunctional groups, and structural stability were constructed through chelation, cross-linking, and immobilization strategies using chitosan as a carrier. The adsorption capacity of MCAlP for F was found to be 14.

This study synthesises expanded graphite (EG) from graphitised carbon from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. The adsorbent material was characterised using FTIR, XRF, XRD, SEM, Raman Spectroscopy, and BET surface area analysis. The synthesised EG defluorinated wastewater, utilising response surface methodology (RSM) for experimental design and optimisation.

To mitigate the risk associated with water-soluble fluoride in tea and to have less influence on the contents of tea infusion, a highly selective lanthanum modified silk fibroin (SF) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite film (SF/PVA-La) was prepared to remove fluoride from brick tea infusion. Notably, SF/PVA-La could remove about 48 % of the fluoride from in brick tea infusion within 30 min. Importantly, the reduction in total tea polyphenols in brick tea did not exceed 10 %, and the reduction in caffeine was only 0.

Amorphous-dominated magnesium oxide hollow spheres (A-MgO) were prepared using a spray-drying method in this study. These hollow spheres exhibited excellent sphericity, large specific surface areas, and abundant porosity. A-MgO exhibited outstanding fluoride adsorption properties, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 260.
