摘要: The levels of fluoride in various ground water sources East Africa are above the World Health Organization upper limit 1.5 mg/L. Research on diverse defluoridation technologies has proven that adsorption stands out as an affordable, efficient, and facile technology. Fish swim bladder-derived porous carbon (FBPC) activated by KOH surface oxidized nitric acid was successfully investigated adsorbent for at portable pH. FBPC characterized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Batch methods were used to study physiochemical parameters viz., initial concentration, temperature, adsorbate dosage, contact time Freundlich, Temkin, Langmuir Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms plotted analyzed understand process. Bangham, Weber Morris, pseudo first second-order models elucidate kinetics adsorption. Optimal conditions removal found be: pH 6, dose 5.0 g/L 50 min. Flouride followed kinetic model isotherm best describes
