1.1. Fluoride in Water Water is an essential natural resource for sustaining life. Water is
certainly not free everywhere. However, chemical composition of surface or subsurface is …

Fluoride in drinking water has a profound effect on teeth and bones. Up to a small level (1–
1.5 mg/L) this strengthens the enamel. Concentrations in the range of 1.5–4mg/L result in …

Excessive fluoride concentrations have been reported in groundwaters of more than 20
developed and developing countries including India where 19 states are facing acute …

Excessive intake of fluoride (F), mainly through drinking water, is a serious health hazard
affecting humans worldwide. There are several methods used for the defluoridation of …

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) calcined at different temperatures (denoted as CLDH)
have been demonstrated to recover their original layered structure in the presence of …

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) calcined within a certain temperature range (denoted as
CLDH) have been shown to recover their original layered structure in the presence of …

The excess fluoride in drinking water is serious risk which leads to fluorosis. The adsorption
method is facile route for defluoridation studies. Hybrid adsorbent possesses unique …

MgAl-CO3 layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been employed to treat high fluoride
concentration solution. The influences of solution pH, initial fluoride concentration and other …

Mg–Al-LDH nanoflake impregnated magnetic alginate beads (LDH-n-MABs) were
successfully synthesized and their defluoridation performance was systematically evaluated …

Nano-sized magnesium oxide (nano-MgO) was investigated for adsorption of fluoride from
water. The pure and fluoride adsorbed nano-MgO were characterised by Brunauer–Emmett …
