Abstract:
Presence of fluoride in drinking water above (and sometimes even below) permissible limit (1.5 ppm according to WHO) leads to fluorosis. Aluminum salts are commonly used as coagulants in water treatments. Aluminum fluoride is less toxic than other fluorides. The concentration of fluoride was determined by the fluoride ion selective electrode method. In this study, Al (NO3)3 was incorporated in different amounts in soil and prepared soil pots by the mixture. It is observed that these soil pots remarkably decrease the concentration of fluoride in drinking water. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm studies were also carried out.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
