In this paper, we report the preparation of an adsorbent for fluoride removal from drinking water. This adsorbent was prepared using a thermal treatment of pseudoboehmite agglomerates. Taguchi and Surface Response methodologies were used in order to standardize the adsorbent synthesis and to obtain the best fluoride removal rate of adsorbent. The fluoride removal rate of our adsorbent was higher than those obtained for a commercial alumina and bone charcoal. This adsorbent was also tested and compared using different experimental conditions with fluoride solutions and tap water.
