Abstract:In this study, bone chars were obtained from an alien acuatic species “devilfish” bones by pyrolysis of 500–800°C. Bone chars were evaluated as a sustainable adsorbent of fluoride, it was found pyrolysed bone char at 500°C adsorbed the most amount of fluoride. The effect of pH indicated that the adsorption capacity increased as the pH decreased. Thermodynamic parameters of fluoride adsorption on devilfish bone chars were estimated as ΔH°= 7.213 kJ mol− 1, ΔG°= 23.61 kJ mol− 1 and ΔS° = 103.4 J mol− 1 K− 1 indi… Show more
