Abstract
Occurrence of fluoride in groundwater is a serious concern due to its fatal effects. Functionalized hexagonal boron nitride sheets have been combined with nickel hydroxide nanoparticles by a one step process and a hybrid adsorbent Ni(OH)2@hBN has been developed with an exceptionally high fluoride adsorption capacity of 365 mg g-1, higher than those of Ni(OH)2 and hBN. This maximum adsorption capacity is higher than those of most common adsorbents used for defluoridation including activated alumina, reported nickel oxide and carbon-based 2D material-supported alumina adsorbents. The presence of functionalized boron nitride significantly increased the surface area to 680 m2 g-1 with a pore volume of 0.33687 cm3 g-1 and provided rich hydroxyl group-containing surface sites for the removal of fluoride present in contaminated water. In addition, the adsorption of fluoride onto boron nitride-modified nickel hydroxide followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, suggesting a monolayer adsorption mechanism. Furthermore, the material developed is tested with the water sample collected from a real affected area, from the Dhar district of India, and the material showed promising results in terms of fluoride removal efficacy.

Abstract
This work presents the synthesis of amine and ferrihydrite functionalized graphene oxide for the removal of fluoride from water. The synthesis of the graphene oxide and the modified with amine groups is developed by following the modified Hummer's method. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, surface charge distribution, specific surface area and porosity, adsorption isotherms, and the van't Hoff equation are used for the characterization of the synthesized materials. Results show that the addition of amines with ferrihydrite generates wrinkles on the surface layers, suggesting a successful incorporation of nitrogen onto the graphene oxide; and as a consequence, the adsorption capacity per unit area of the materials is increased.

Graphene-Based Adsorbents for Arsenic, Fluoride, and Chromium Adsorption: Synthesis Methods Review. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:3942.

Abstract
Water contamination around the world is an increasing problem due to the presence of contaminants such as arsenic, fluoride, and chromium. The presence of such contaminants is related to either natural or anthropogenic processes. The above-mentioned problem has motivated the search for strategies to explore and develop technologies to remove these contaminants in water. Adsorption is a common process employed for such proposals due to its versatility, high adsorption capacity, and lower cost. In particular, graphene oxide is a material that is of special interest due to its physical and chemical properties such as surface area, porosity, pore size as well as removal efficiency for several contaminants. This review shows the advances, development, and perspectives of materials based on GO employed for the adsorption of contaminants such as arsenite, arsenate, fluoride, and hexavalent chromium. We provided a detailed discussion of the synthesis techniques and their relationship with the adsorption capacities and other physical properties as well as pH ranges employed to remove the contaminants. It is concluded that the adsorption capacity is not proportional to the surface area in all the cases; instead, the synthesis method, as well as the functional groups, play an important role. In particular, the sol-gel synthesis method shows better adsorption capacities.

Abstract
The deterioration of the quality of groundwater by fluoride is the cause of shortage of drinking water supply in the rift valley region. Most people living in the rural areas are using groundwater as the source of their potable water; however, it is contaminated with high concentrations of fluoride ion above the permissible level. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the adsorption of fluoride from groundwater by graphene oxide (GO) under specific conditions, such as: agitation rate of 120 rpm, contact time of 90 minutes, adsorbent dosage of 0.42 mg/L, initial fluoride concentration of 10 mg/L, and pH of 6.8. The result obtained showed 99.3% fluoride removal from the NaF prepared solution and 91.6% fluoride removal from the real sample. The retained properties of GO after adsorption observed on UV–Vis analysis confirmed that the adsorbent can be recyclable. The result obtained also showed that the adsorption kinetics with the coefficient of determination (R2) for pseudo-second order (SSO) and pseudo-first order (SFO) were 0.99 and 0.96, respectively. Based on these results, the adsorption of fluoride onto GO is a pseudo-second-order kinetics type. According to the result, the Freundlich isotherm model showed a good fit to the experiment with R2 (0.99). The adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was found to be 301.43 mg/g. Hence, this study showed that GO is the preferred adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from groundwater.

Abstract
Fluoride is an anionic pollutant found superfluous in surface or groundwater as a result of anthropogenic actions from improper disposal of industrial effluents. In drinking water, superfluous fluoride has been revealed to trigger severe health problems in humans. Hence, developing a comprehensive wastewater decontamination process for the effective management and preservation of water contaminated with fluoride is desirable, as clean water demand is anticipated to intensify considerably over the upcoming years. In this regard, there have been increased efforts by researchers to create novel magnetic metal oxide nanocomposites which are functionalized for the remediation of wastewater owing to their biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness, relative ease to recover and reuse, non-noxiousness, and ease to separate from solutions using a magnetic field. This review makes an all-inclusive effort to assess the effects of experimental factors on the sorption of fluoride employing magnetic metal oxide nanosorbents. The removal efficiency of fluoride ions onto magnetic metal oxides nanocomposites were largely influenced by the solution pH and ions co-existing with fluoride. Overall, it was noticed from the reviewed researches that the maximum sorption capacity using various metal oxides for fluoride sorption was in the order of aluminium oxides >cerium oxides > iron oxides > magnesium oxides> titanium oxides, and most sorption of fluoride ions was inhibited by the existence of phosphate trailed by sulphate. The mechanism of fluoride sorption onto various sorbents was due to ion exchange, electrostatic attraction, and complexation mechanism.

Abstract
A highly efficient fluoride adsorbent Al2 O3 /CeO2 was synthesized in this work and used it to fluoride removal in the fixed-bed adsorption through changing the different experimental conditions (influent F- concentration, flow velocity, and bed heights). The adsorption capacity was 9.72 mg/g. In addition, the Adams-Bohart and Thomas models were used to fit and evaluate the column breakthrough curve of fluoride removal process by Al2 O3 /CeO2 , and the correlation coefficients (R2 ) of the Thomas model were close to 1 under all experimental conditions. The structure of Al2 O3 /CeO2 and the adsorption mechanism were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), N2 adsorption and desorption isotherm, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Moreover, the adsorption of fluoride (F- ) was mainly through metal binding (MF) and hydroxyl binding (AlOH⋯F) on the surface of the Al2 O3 /CeO2 . Furthermore, the regeneration and coexisting anions studies of Al2 O3 /CeO2 were carried out, and the efficiency of adsorption was still above 70% after five cycles. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Removal of fluoride was studied by fixed-bed experiment, and the adsorption capacity of composite Al2 O3 /CeO2 was 9.72 mg/g. The metal complex played important role in fluoride removal and reusability makes a long-term application for fluoride adsorption. Fluoride wastewater is pumped to the fixed-bed column, and fluoride ions are absorbed by Al2 O3 /CeO2 through fluoride metal complex and aluminum hydrofluoride.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increase in public perception of the detrimental side-effects of fluoride to human health due to its effects on teeth and bones. Today, there is a plethora of techniques available for the removal of fluoride from drinking water. Among them, adsorption is a very prospective method because of its handy operation, cost efficiency, and high selectivity. Along with efforts to assist fluoride removal from drinking waters, extensive attention has been also paid to the accurate measurement of fluoride in water. Currently, the analytical methods that are used for fluoride determination can be classified into chromatographic methods (e.g., ionic chromatography), electrochemical methods (e.g., voltammetry, potentiometry, and polarography), spectroscopic methods (e.g., molecular absorption spectrometry), microfluidic analysis (e.g., flow injection analysis and sequential injection analysis), titration, and sensors. In this review article, we discuss the available techniques and the ongoing effort for achieving enhanced fluoride removal by applying novel adsorbents such as carbon-based materials (i.e., activated carbon, graphene oxide, and carbon nanotubes) and nanostructured materials, combining metals and their oxides or hydroxides as well as natural materials. Emphasis has been given to the use of lanthanum (La) in the modification of materials, both activated carbon and hybrid materials (i.e., La/Mg/Si-AC, La/MA, LaFeO3 NPs), and in the use of MgO nanostructures, which are found to exhibit an adsorption capacity of up to 29,131 mg g−1. The existing analytical methodologies and the current trends in analytical chemistry for fluoride determination in drinking water are also discussed.

Abstract
Herein, composite nanofiber membranes (CNMs) derived from UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 Zr-metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were successfully prepared, and they exhibited high performance in adsorptive fluoride removal from aqueous media. The resultant CNMs were confirmed using different techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) in addition to Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The parameters that govern the fluoride adsorption were evaluated, including adsorbent dose, contact time, and pH value, in addition to initial concentration. The crystalline structures of CNMs exhibited high hydrothermal stability and remained intact after fluoride adsorption. It could also be observed that the adsorbent dose has a significant effect on fluoride removal at high alkaline values. The results show that UiO-66-NH2 CNM exhibited high fluoride removal due to electrostatic interactions that strongly existed between F- and metal sites in MOF in addition to hydrogen bonds formed with MOF amino groups. The fluoride removal efficiency reached 95% under optimal conditions of 20 mg L-1, pH of 8, and 40% adsorbent dose at 60 min. The results revealed that UiO-66-NH2 CNM possesses a high maximum adsorption capacity (95 mg L-1) over UiO-66 CNM (75 mg L-1), which exhibited better fitting with the pseudo-second-order model. Moreover, when the initial fluoride concentration increased from 20 to 100 mg/L, fluoride adsorption decreased by 57% (UiO-66 CNM) and 30% (UiO-66-NH2 CNM) after 60 min. After three cycles, CNM revealed the regeneration ability, demonstrating that UiO-66-NH2 CNMs are auspicious adsorbents for fluoride from an aqueous medium.
