RESUMO
Abstract Sources of fluoride contaminated water are found around the world and their treatment is required before human consumption. This paper contributes to advances in the use of bone-char as an adsorbent for fluoride, associating steps of chemical regeneration and fluoride adsorption in continuous systems, thereby making feasible the multiple use of the adsorbent. Following the development of low cost treatment of water defluoridation in a fixed bed column, using bone-char, regeneration was carried out with NaOH (0.5 mol/L) solution in subsequent adsorption/desorption cycles. The continuous system was modeled applying Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, Adams-Bohart, Wolborska and Yan models, and the Yan model showed the best adjustment. The adsorption capacity of 6.28 mg/g was obtained from the breakthrough curve. Chemical regeneration of bone-char was feasible, and a reduction in adsorption capacity of 30% was observed only after five adsorption/desorption cycles.
