Abstract:This study investigates the influence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the removal of F− by magnesium potassium phosphate (MPP) from water. The kinetic experiments reveal that the F− concentration decreased from 3.5 to 3.31 mg L−1 in a single (F−) system and to 1.45 mg L−1 in a ternary system (F−, Ca2+, and Mg2+) after 1 min, respectively. Thus, the F− removal efficiencies are found to increase by about 53% with the co‐active effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the solution. Moreover, Ca2+ and Mg2+ are almost completely removed in … Show more
