Defluoridation of groundwater using diatomaceous earth : optimization of adsorption conditions, kinetics and leached metals risk assessment

Izuagie, Anthony A.; Gitari, Wilson M.; Gumbo, Jabulani R. (Taylor and Francis, 2015-08-27)

In Sub-Saharan Africa, many rural communities depend on boreholes as the most appropriate source of water supply. Sadly, water from some of the boreholes contains ﬂuoride above the WHO guideline of 1.5 mg/L. Hence, ...
Effects of calcination temperature and solution pH on the defluoridation potential of Al/Fe oxide-modified diatomaceous earth: metal leaching and sorbent reuse

Izuagie, Anthony A.; Gitari, M.; Gumbo, Jabulani R. (IWa Publishing, 2017)

An evaluation of the effects of calcination temperature and solution pH on the fluoride removal capacity of Al/Fe oxide-modified diatomaceous earth was carried out. The sorbent was observed to be most effective and stable ...
Synthesis and performance evaluation of AI/Fe oxide coated diatomaceous in groundwater defluoridation : towards fluoris mitigation

Izuagie, Anthony A.; Gitari, Wilson M.; Gumbo, Jabulani R. (Taylor and Francis, 2016-05-24)

The quest to reduce ﬂuoride in groundwater to WHO acceptable limit of 1.5 mg/L to prevent diseases such as teeth mottling and skeletal ﬂuorosis was the motivation for this study. Al/Fe oxide-modiﬁed diatomaceous earth was ...
