In villages Groundwater is the primary water source for drinking in south eastern India was listed in the sphere of 1.5 and 5.7 mg/L. As per ground water brochure released by Central Water Board 993 villages in Ananthapuramu district affected by fluoride contamination. This leads to many health problems like dental, skeletal fluorosis and some chronic diseases also. It necessity to removal fluoride using an adsorbent which is highly abundant, low price and highly efficient in adsorption technique and it should be easy and safe for the domestic and community usage purpose. The present study concentrates on effective extraction of fluoride using natural low-cost adsorbents like banana peel. Banana peel was washed with tap randomly with double distilled water, and dried for 12 hours at 450for one day. This adsorbents well grounded using motor and pestle, it is sieved to gain the desired fractions 250(μm). The pH, initial concentration, contact time, and adsorbent dose are the property of operating constants and fluoride removal efficiency will be analyzed using UV spectroscopy. The adsorbent isotherm has to be drawn for total adsorbents and compare the results and will suggest suitable adsorbents for removal enough fluoride from ground water.
