Abstract Effect of pH, initial fluoride concentration, duration, alumina dosage on removal rate and adsorption capacity were studied by adding the fine activated alumina, and removal mechanism was then discussed. A fine activated alumina with specific surface area of 409.03 m2·g-1 was prepared by phase evolution from gibbsite, dawsonite, ammonia aluminate carbonate hydrate to mesoporous γ-Al2O3 after gibbsite precipitated from sodium aluminate solution. Results indicate that fluoride is efficiently removed within pH range from 7 to 9.4. Prolonging adsorption time, reducing fluoride concentration, and increasing alumina dosage improve removal rate. Meanwhile, increase in pH reduces zeta potential, and IEP is equal to 9.77. High specific surface area, electrostatic attraction, and multilayer adsorption contribute to adsorption capacity of 9.28 mg·g-1 and removal rate of 94.20% in solution of pH 8.1. In addition, chemisorption is rate controlling step according to pseudo-second rate equation in removal of fluoride in alkaline solution.
