 Fluoride is a common contaminant found in surface and groundwater due to geological and human activities. Absorption is a popular method for removing fluoride from water with many different types of adsorbent materials available. These include oxides and hydroxides, biosorbents, geomaterials, carbonaceous materials, and industrial products and back products. Each material has unique properties and can be modified to optimize performance. Binary and trimetallic oxides and hydroxides have shown promising results in laboratory testing, while biosorbents and carbonaceous materials have demonstrated high efficiency in field trials. Additionally, the presence of other impurities does not significantly affect the adsorptive capacity of these materials. This article was authored by Myar Gavik Revansik and Ander Flanagan.
