Abstract
This study involved batch experimental parameters and characterizations of adsorbent. Dose of precursor of Banana Stalk were found too high and hence the adsorbent was chemically activated. This Banana Stalk Coke (BSC) tested as an adsorbent ranges 1.0 g/L - 10 g/L were considered in the study of dose optimization where as pH 2.0-9.0 were selected. Initial concentrations 2 mg/L -15 mg/L were considered with a contact time 1 hrs to 12 hrs. Maximum uptake capacity of fluoride was obtained at pH 5.0 for a optimized dose of 1 gm/L at a contact time of 4.0 hrs. Freundlich and Langmuir models were found suitable in this research study.
