Abstract
at 298 K. Further experimental and theoretical evidences reveal that fluoride adsorption is primarily driven by electrostatic interactions and ion exchange. The dynamic adsorption tests coupled with economic analyses highlight the promise of Ce-Al-O/AC as a cost-effective and efficient adsorbent for practical drinking water defluoridation.
