Bio-F compared to Activated Alumina
Sl. No Activity Activated Alumina* OxiMax Bio-F Clear
1 Defluoridation capacity 1mg/g 4mg/g
2 Regeneration Process Regeneration by exposing to 4 percent caustic soda (hazardous chemical) and therefore can not be carried out at local
level. Must be taken to a center
Regeneration only by salt and/or alum. Can be carried out by a layman at site.
3 Wastewater Waste water contaminated with fluoride thus going back to ground at the same
location
Waste water not contaminated with fluoride. Regeneration process in Bio-F only does a
fresh coating and not releasing any fluoride in waste water
4 Neutralization Neutralization required with sulphuric acid after regeneration, again a
hazardous chemical. Cumbersome and risky process
No neutralization required
5 Capacity reduction Capacity reduced by 30-40% after regeneration
Capacity reduced marginally 2-5%
6 Number of regenerations possible
3-4, after which media needs to be replaced.
15-20 times regeneration can be carried out.
7 Presence of aluminium after regeneration
Regeneration may result in presence of aluminium at a concentration greater
than 0.2 mg/l, if the pH is not readjusted to normal.
No such possibility

Contact Time
Comparison of Activated Clinopitolite with Bio-F in dynamic testing have shown that activated clinopitolite need to be regenerated after 75 liter water produced ( contact time 20 min), but 700 liter for Bio-F (contact time 3.5 min).

Effect of co-existing ions on removal of F, Fe(ll) and Mn(ll)
NOTE: High concentration of Ca2+, NO3, HPO4(2) could favour defluoridation with bio-f while concentration of Co3(2) and HCO3 marginally reduces the capacity of bio-F
