Technical Description
This invention relates to a sustainable, cellulose nanofiber-polyaniline template ferrihydrite (CNPFH) granular nanocomposite used for rapid defluoridation. Produced via a one-pot, in-situ polymerisation process, it removes groundwater fluoride contaminants through adsorption under ambient conditions completely without electricity.
