Ambient synthesis of La embedded ZIF-8 core-shell adsorbent for selective fluoride removal from Tanzanian geothermal water: Performance, kinetics, and isotherms
Key Points
Fluoride removal efficiency reached over 95%, demonstrating high performance of the core-shell adsorbent.
Key metric: Adsorption capacity was measured to be 12.5 mg/g, indicating strong interaction with fluoride ions.
Analysis of isotherms and kinetics confirmed rapid adsorption rates, supporting efficient fluoride uptake by the adsorbent.
Highlights the potential for using advanced adsorbents in improving drinking water quality, particularly in fluoride-contaminated regions.
