Abstract

In this study carried out by means of photo-colorimetry using the SPANDS indicator at 620 nm to adsorb Fluoride ion from aqueous solution. The influence of pH was studied by altering the pH from 2 to 12 using a 0.1 Molar concentration of HCl & NaOH solution using 10 ppm Fluoride concentration of as an initial point a kinetic investigation was conducted at pH 6.90 0.10 at various time intervals. The adsorption isotherm was investigated at pH of 6.90 by changing the initial fluoride concentration from 5 to 50 mg / L. The skills of 4 different isotherms used such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Redlich-Peterson adsorption isotherms were examined. To elucidate the mechanism of fluoride adsorption on the surface of the adsorbent, the kinetic model's pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion, and Elovich models are employed to examine the current adsorption data to determine the related kinetic parameters. Lastly, the effects of a number competing for ions (Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, PO43-, Ca2+ and Mg2+) were detected using, 20 - 200 mg / L solution at pH 6.90 ± 0.10 over 1 hr. SEM, XRD, and FT-IR techniques were used to investigate the surface morphology and size distribution of the natural adsorbent for fluoride adsorption (Centella Asiatica). The impact of adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH, co-ions, initial fluoride concentration, and shaking speed Centella Asiatica was determined and clearly reported
