This semester, as part of the Fluoride sub-team, our goals are to design and build the physical filtering system that will be used to bring high levels of fluoride in ground water down to safe, potable levels. We plan to devise a system using a sand filter in conjunction with Polyaluminum Chloride in order to precipitate out the excess fluoride. Once the system is built, we will then work out a way to contaminate tap water so that it imitates ground water, then run trials to find the optimal dosage of PACl.
