Optimizing the fluoride removal from water using a novel adsorbent prepared from Waste Cerastoderma edule shell with Kinetic, Equilibrium, and Thermodynamic studies

This study demonstrates that a chemically-thermal activated adsorbent derived from *Cerastoderma edule* shell waste effectively removes fluoride from water, achieving 94% efficiency under optimized conditions (pH 3, 30°C) through a spontaneous, endothermic, multilayer adsorption process governed by pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich isotherm.
