function of pH, initial fluoride concentration, sorbent dose and co-ionic interference was investigated. The kinetic and isotherm models were used to interpret the nature of the fluoride sorption onto ACA– TIFSC. From the experimental results, it may be evaluated that the fluoride removal efficiency of ACA– TIFSC during stirring was greater than with the shaking dynamics. The results suggest that the active sites of the adsorbent are more easily reached by fluoride anions under stirring agitation. Characterization of
