Abstract
The use of modified clays can play an effective role as an effective adsorbent in removing fluoride (Flu) ions from water and aqueous solutions. In the present research, montmorillonite clay (MMt) was modified using CoFe2O4 magnetic particles and Al-Fe fumarate metal-organic framework (Al-Fe Fum) and was utilized as an efficient adsorbent for removing Flu from aqueous solution. The properties of MMt and MMt/CoFe2O4/Al-Fe Fum samples were investigated using different techniques. The results showed that with the modification of MMt using CoFe2O4 magnetic particles and the metal-organic framework of Al-Fe Fum, the BET surface has increased notably from 13.217 to 365.80 m2/g. To investigate the effect of independent variables and their interaction on the efficiency of the Flu adsorption, response surface method-central compound design (RSM-CCD) was served. Based on the results of ANOVA, the F-value and p-value parameters for the desired model were determined to be 783.09 and < 0.0001, respectively, which confirms the success and high ability of the model. The number of R2, adjusted R2, and Predicted R2 for adsorption of Flu ion was determined to be 0.998, 0.997, and 0.995, respectively, which shows that the proposed regression model can describe the process of adsorption and interaction between variables well. Compared to other kinetic models, the pseudo 2nd order kinetic model has a greater ability to describe the Flu adsorption behavior. The R2 parameter value determined that the Freundlich isotherm model has a suitable ability to investigate the isotherm behavior and confirms the effect of heterogeneous surfaces in the process. Generally, the outcomes signified that the MMt and MMt/CoFe2O4/Al-Fe Fum samples can be reused several times in the process of Flu adsorption, while the efficiency is more than 90%.

Abstract
With the continuous development of society, industrialization, and human activities have been producing more and more pollutants. Fluoride discharge is one of the main causes of water pollution. This review summarizes various commonly used and effective fluoride removal technologies, including ion exchange technology, electrochemical technology, coagulation technology, membrane treatment, and adsorption technology, and points out the outstanding advantages of adsorption technology. Various commonly used fluoride removal techniques as well as typical adsorbent materials have been discussed in published papers, however, the relationship between different adsorbent materials and adsorption models has rarely been explored, therefore, this paper categorizes and summarizes the various models involved in static adsorption, dynamic adsorption, and electrosorption fluoride removal processes, such as pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, Thomas and Clark dynamic adsorption models, including the mathematical equations of the corresponding models and the significance of the models are also comprehensively summarized. Furthermore, this comprehensive discussion delves into the fundamental adsorption mechanisms, quantification of maximum adsorption capacity, evaluation of resistance to anion interference, and assessment of adsorption regeneration performance exhibited by diverse adsorption materials. The selection of the best adsorption model not only predicts the adsorption performance of the adsorbent but also provides a better description and understanding of the details of each part of the adsorption process, which facilitates the adjustment of experimental conditions to optimize the adsorption process. This review may provide some guidance for the development of more cost-effective adsorbent materials and adsorption processes in the future.

Fluoride removal from aqueous solution via environmentally friendly adsorbent derived from seashell. Sci Rep 2022; 12:9655.

Abstract
Nowadays, the presence of excessive ions in water resources is of utmost concern and has attracted increasing attention; therefore, excessive amounts of these ions such as fluoride should be removed from drinking water. Conventional water treatment processes are shown to be incapable of the complete removal of redundant fluoride from aqueous water bodies, whereas adsorption is a promising, effective, cost–benefit, and simple method for this purpose. This study aimed to synthesize effective adsorbents from bivalve shells and evaluate the adsorption function of bivalve shells in removing fluoride from aqueous solutions. In this study, the oyster shell was collected from the Persian Gulf’s seaside and were crushed by manual mortar and blender, and graded with standard sieves with 70 mesh size. The prepared bivalve shell was characterized by SEM and FTIR. To investigate and optimize various variables on fluoride removal percentage a response surface methodology based on central composite design (RSM-CCD) was used. Under optimal conditions (pH: 5.5, adsorbent dose: 0.3 g/L, contact time: 85 min and fluoride concentration: 3 mg/L) the maximum removal efficiency was 97.26%. Results showed that the adsorption equilibrium and kinetic data were matched with the isotherm Langmuir Model (R2 = 0.98) with qmax = 27.31 mg/g and pseudo-second-order reaction (R2 = 0.99). Also, a thermodynamic study exhibited that the adsorption process of fluoride into bivalve shells was an exothermic reaction and could not be a spontaneous adsorption process. Based on the results, the bivalve shell was found as an appropriate adsorbent to remove fluoride from aqueous solutions.
