The fluoride adsorption of the as-synthesized LDHs was influenced by the chemical composition of the LDHs and ZA-11 (Zn/Al = 0.97) had the highest capacity for fluoride adsorption (1.14-4.16 mg/g). The adsorption increased after calcination of the LDH up to 500 degrees C. The equilibrium data were fitted to the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin equations. The kinetics of fluoride adsorption followed the pseudo-second order model.
