    Abstract: The high cost of advanced technology for defluoridation has, since the late 20th century, triggered the search for low-cost water defluoridation methods. One such effort involves the use of plant biomass materials. Over the past thirty years, our understanding of fluoride sorption mechanisms of non-activated plant biomass has not significantly adva...
