Table 2.
The amount of fluoride ions adsorbed (qe, mg/g) by PAniMSF (pH: 5, adsorbent dose: 1 g, and contact time: 60 min) at room temperature.
| Fluoride ion, Co(mg/L) | Adsorption capacity (q e , mg/g) | |
|---|---|---|
| PAniMSF | SF | |
| 1 | 0.89 | 0.26 |
| 3 | 1.08 | 0.42 |
| 5 | 1.26 | 0.68 |
| 8 | 2.44 | 0.81 |
| 10 | 2.48 | 0.82 |
| 12 | 2.49 | 0.86 |
| 15 | 2.48 | 0.87 |
∗ The qe values of PAniMSF and SF for fluoride concentration at 10 mg/L are 2.48 and 0.82 mg/g, respectively.
