Abstract
We develop a model that captures the dominant chemical mechanisms involved in the removal of fluoride from water by a novel adsorbent comprising mineral rich carbon (MRC) and chemically treated mineral rich carbon (TMRC). Working with experimental data, we validate the model for both MRC and TMRC based on the underlying chemical reactions. The model we derive from the chemical composition of TMRC and MRC shows good agreement with experimental results.
