Removal of Fluoride from Aqueous Solutions Using Chitosan Cryogels by Anete Jessica Arcos-Arévalo, Rosa Elvira Zavala-Arce, Pedro Ávila-Pérez, Beatriz García-Gaitán, José Luis García-Rivas, María de la Luz Jiménez-Núñez

“…A maximum fluoride adsorption capacity of 280 and 295 mg F−/g for QE and QEFe, respectively, at 303 K was obtained, showing that the removal of fluoride is favored by the iron incorporated in the polymer matrix of the cryogels. The thermodynamic parameters were obtained for both cryogels, where the values of ΔH° and ΔG° indicate that both systems are endothermic and nonspontaneous.…”
