• the basic method of removing fluorine in wastewater is to add a calcium salt to the wastewater in the primary treatment tank 10 as shown in Fig. 6 to generate sparingly soluble calcium fluoride. . Since the generated calcium fluoride particles are very fine and easily dispersed in the liquid, about 0.1 times the aluminum salt is dissolved in the molar concentration of the generated calcium fluoride, and the water generated by neutralization is dissolved. Calcium fluoride is coagulated in the first coagulation tank 11 using aluminum oxide as a coagulation aid, and then sedimented and separated in the first settling tank 12. At this stage, most of the fluorine in the wastewater can be removed. ⁇ In general, the fluorine concentration in this method depends on the inhibition of the calcium fluoride production reaction by the contaminants contained in the wastewater and the solubility of calcium fluoride itself.
