     fluoride is considered as a major inorganic pollutant present in drinking water. to remove this excess fluoride, defluoridation was done by alumina. in the present study, alumina used was acidic in nature and hence considered as a good fluoride removing adsorbent. characterization of the adsorbent was done by xrd, sem, bet and ftir with bet surface area of 144.27 m2/g. systematic adsorption experiments were carried out with different process parameters such as contact time, adsorbent mass, ph, temperature and stirring speed. fluoride adsorption by alumina was highly ph dependent. maximum fluoride was removed from water at ph 4.4. at very low and very high ph, fluoride removal efficiency was affected. the study of thermodynamic parameters inferred that physical adsorption was dominant with activation energy of 95.13 kj/mol and endothermic behavior of the process. the kinetics study concluded that pseudo second order kinetics was followed by the adsorption process. adsorption equilibrium was studied with langmuir and freundlich isotherm models. the adsorption process followed langmuir isotherm with an adsorption capacity of 8.4 mg/g. a regeneration study was proposed in order to reuse the adsorbent for better economy of the process. finally, a process design calculation was reported to know the amount of adsorbent required for efficient removal of fluoride from aqueous medium.
