Abstract- Fluoride contain in water is a major health issue for human beings, Generally in India where undeveloped area and developed area also people consume excess amount of fluoride in drinking water and that’s the reason cause risks such as dental and skeletal fluorosis. There are many technologies and methods to fluoride removal such as coagulation-precipitation, membrane separation, ion exchange, and adsorption processes. Yet, because of the high installation and maintenance expenses of membrane and ion exchange operations, adsorption has become an affordable and effective alternative. We have focused to make low-cost filtration candle with using natural adsorbents which are locally available in market.
This research concentrates on the removing of fluoride from water through the use of natural adsorbents, which are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and readily available. The research investigates the performance of various natural materials, including activated carbon, rice-husk, cement adsorbents, in removing fluoride contain. The adsorbent method is commonly used in nations such as India because of its simplicity and effectiveness.
By a comprehensive literature review and experimental investigation, this research assesses the adsorption capacity, removal efficiency, and viability of these natural adsorbents. Findings show that natural adsorbents have great potential for large-scale fluoride removal and can be a good solution for safe drinking water supply in fluoride-endemic areas. Nevertheless, more studies are required to optimize adsorption parameters and determine their long-term use on a commercial scale.
This research is part of the increasing literature on sustainable water treatment technologies, with a focus on the importance of low-cost, effective, and scalable defluoridation methods to provide access to safe drinking water in fluoride-affected regions.
