Extraction of bio-hydroxyapatite from devilfish (Loricariidae) for the fluoride and cadmium adsorption from water and its feasible photocatalytic properties

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: and Cd(II) at pH 7. Furthermore, photodegradation experiments showed 100% degradation methylene blue (MB) under natural sunlight. This study indicates an effective photodegradation process, suggesting high adsorption capacity of the samples. The use of devilfish as an adsorbent promises to be a viable and sustainable option for the removal of fluoride and cadmium from water, and for use in photodegradation experiments.
