Fluorite and calcite have been attracting research attention for a long time. This paper reports on an investigation of the use of diethylene triamine pentamethylphosphonic acid (DTPMPA) as a chelating inhibitor. DTPMPA was used as a chelating inhibitor to study the flotation, separation, and adsorption behaviors of fluorite and calcite minerals. The microflotation experiment showed that the maximum separation of fluorite and calcite can be achieved with a DTPMPA dosage of 1.5 × 10 mol/L under weakly alkaline conditions (pH = 8). Zeta potential measurement, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to confirm that DTPMPA was adsorbed on the surface of calcite, inhibiting NaOl adsorption. Additionally, density functional theory calculations showed that oxygen in the DTPMPA phosphate group formed the most stable bidentate binuclear adsorption configuration by chelating with calcium on the calcite surface. Through detection analysis and simulation calculations, the results showed that DTPMPA exhibited significantly weaker adsorption on fluorite compared to that on calcite, highlighting its selective inhibition ability on calcite.

Long-term intake of high-fluoride water can cause fluorosis in bones and teeth or damage to organs. Fluoride in groundwater is primarily derived from reactions with rocks containing fluorine-related minerals, and fluoride concentrations are elevated in groundwater that has been reacting with these rocks for a long time. The purpose of this study is to investigate the origin and distribution of fluoride in groundwater and to assess the influence of various factors, including geology, on fluoride concentrations in groundwater.

Article Synopsis
- High levels of arsenic (As) and fluoride (F), along with microbial pathogens, are a significant public health risk in semiarid regions, affecting over 240 million people, including those in Pakistan.
- Groundwater around coal mines in Quetta shows concerning concentrations of As (0.2-16.6 µg/L) and F (0.4-18.5 mg/L), with mining areas experiencing even higher levels and various geochemical factors influencing these contaminants.
- A health risk assessment indicates that over 64% of groundwater samples exceed WHO guidelines for As and F, posing greater carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks to children, highlighting a critical need for improved water quality and management.
