UEGA was prepared in two major steps, firstly electrochemically generated adsorbent (EGA) was prepared using electrolytic method followed by ultrasonication treatment. Ultrasonication causes size reduction which leads to increase in surface area viz. active site which helps to enhance attachment of negatively charged fluoride ion on positively changed UEGA from waste water. UEGA was prepared at three different amplitude i.e. 50, 70 and 90% respectively. Taguchi optimization for defluoridationwas carried out considering operating parameters such as initial concentration; contact time; adsorbent dose; and temperature. The results obtained demonstrated that adsorption showed different fluoride removal at varying frequency. This study proved that varying percentage amplitude of ultrasonication significantly affects defluoridation efficiency.}, type={Article}, title={Optimization of fluoride removal using ultrasonically improved electrochemically generated adsorbent: A Taguchi approach}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/124691/PDF-MASTER/art02_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cpe.2022.140814}, keywords={isotherms, kinetics, defluoridation, electrolyte, ultrasonication}, }
