Up to 15.7 ppm fluoride can be removed from solution, pH 7.3 to 7.8, by adsorption onto colloidal aluminum hydroxide at a concentration of 40 ppm Al. This adsorbing colloid-adsorbed ion combination is then removed by foaming with 40 ppm sodium lauryl sulfate. After 30 min the concentration of fluoride is 0.0 ppm. The concentration of aluminum is also 0 ppm. Efficiency of removal slowly decreases with increasing ionic strength. Chloride ion interference is minimal.
