Abstract
The production of Integrated circuits (ICs) generates wastewater with a high concentration of residual fluoride ions, necessitating highly efficient fluorine removal methods. In this study, a novel composite carrier was developed using a hydrothermal synthesis method to load Al-MOF and biochar (BC) onto polyurethane foam (PUF), resulting in the composite foam of Al-MOF-PUF@BC. The results showed that the composite carrier exhibited a stable fluoride removal effect, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 16.52 mg/g at room temperature. The adsorption isotherm curves were consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model, and the adsorption kinetics were well-described by the pseudo-first-order model. The mechanism of fluorine adsorption on Al-MOF-PUF@BC was ligand exchange with hydroxyl groups and the formation of FAl bonds. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the adsorption energy reached -246.7 eV, indicating stable adsorption for fluoride ions. The composite foam demonstrated excellent regenerative properties and was effective for fluoride removal in actual IC wastewater.

Abstract
As a regulated pollutant, fluorine compounds affect the health of millions of people all over the world. Their removal using a fluidized bed reactor (FBR) through crystallization process is a new method. Instead of chemical precipitation, which produces large amounts of sludge-containing wastewater hard to recover and treat. In this work, FBR was applied to a typical rare-earth smelting wastewater containing fluorine. Influence of different seed materials, seed size, and seed amounts on the fluorine removal and calcium fluoride recovery in the FBR were studied. When silica sand was used as the seed crystal and the amounts reached 30g, the concentration of fluorine in the actual wastewater decreased to 8.2 mg L-1 or lower. The removal efficiency of fluorine and recovery ratio of calcium fluoride were obtained as 93.79% and 89.45%, respectively. The particle size of recovered calcium fluoride was about 1.5mm. The results show that FBR with silica sand as seed crystal is a feasible and economical method for removing fluorine and recovering calcium fluoride from rare-earth industrial wastewater.
