    • Abstract

    A series of experiments were performed to determine the optimum dosage of MgO for fluoride removal from local fluoride contaminated groundwater based on a MgO-CaCl2-Lime-HCl defluoridation system. Since the defluoridation process is to be utilized in a fluoride filter, the permissible limits of various water quality parameters have also to be met while determining the best possible dose. An optimum dosage of 0.8 g/L MgO was found. This dosage achieves at the same time the maximum fluoride removal, minimum concentration of residual Total Hardness and TDS in the defluoridated water.
