Technology Profile
| Title: | Fast and Safe Defluoridation of Water Using Alumina |
| Value Proposition: | Fast method using safe chemicals of fluoride removal by alumina is under development. 1kg of alumina column can deliver 120 L or higher of fluoride removed water with rate of 40 LPH. Specific type of column was employed for efficient mixing for flow under gravity. Patented process. Mechanism published. |
| Summary Application: | High level of fluoride, present in many pockets in country, causes deformation of teeth, bone, and even skeleton. Process lowers fluoride to safe level. |
| Advantages: | Fast process, safe chemicals use, ease of setup, cost effective |
| Tech. Readiness Level: |
