title: Removal of fluoride from water using anion-exchange membrane under Donnan dialysis condition.
abstract: The transport of fluoride through Neosepta-ACM anion-exchange membrane has been studied as a function of feed phase and receiver phase concentration and co-existence anions under Donnan dialysis condition. It was observed that the transport of fluoride was maximum at pH 6 of feed phase and at pH 1 of receiver phase. Moreover, transport of fluoride increased with increase of feed and receiver phase concentration and decreased in the presence of other co-existence anions in the feed phase. The transport of fluoride was also correlated with the flux data and explained according to structure of membrane.
