Groundwater fluoride contamination is a global issue that endangers drinking water and human health. Long term human developed and environmental management both greatly depends on the defluorination of aqueous solution. The most defluorination method is adsorption, which is both economical and effective. For the defluorination of water in drinking water we have synthesized different magnesium aluminium oxide/layered double hydroxide nanocomposite material (Mg2+: Al3+ = 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 abbreviated as MAO11–400, MAO12–500, and MAO21–600 heat treated at 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C respectively) by one pot solution combustion method using triethanolamine as a fuel and stabilizer. The thermal stability of the sample was checked by TGA analysis. The crystalline nature of the sample was characterised by XRD study. The functional group of the sample was identified by the FTIR study. The adsorption isotherm and pore volume of the samples were identified by the BET isotherm and BJH method respectively. Different magnesium aluminium oxide/layered double hydroxide nanocomposite materials were investigated by batch experiments. Based on the results, the Freundlich isothermal model could accurately describe the samples fluoride absorption behaviour, and the maximum adsorption capacity according to the Langmuir model was estimated as 133.51 mg/g for the sample MAO12–400. The adsorption kinetics data indicates that it follows pseudo-second-order model, and adsorption equilibrium reached within just 20 min of the sample MAO12–400. The samples have fluoride ion selectivity especially when various ions were present in real water, and work over wide pH range. XPS outcomes indicated that ion exchange between hydroxide ions of the sample and fluoride ions of the sample were mainly responsible for fluoride adsorption. Based on the kinetics data it may be concluded that all the adsorbents are quick and effective adsorbent, and may be used for fluoride mitigation from drinking water.
