Surface Modified Carbons as Scavengers for Fluoride from Water

Surface Modified Carbons as Scavengers for Fluoride from Water edited by Venkataraman Sivasankar.

This book discusses the problems and feasible remediation of fluoride contamination in groundwater. The book investigates applications of various carbons derived from bio-mass and bio-polymers. It also inquires into surface modified carbons that use inorganic ions to help remove excess fluoride ions...
