The proposed procedure to prepare HaP/SBA-3 was successful, which acts as supports to anchor the HaP crystals, in nanometer-scale (<2nm), with higher fluoride retention from contaminated water. The free OH- groups of HaP nanocrystals, within the host, facilitated the high-performance fluoride trapping. The fluoride retention activity was much higher than that of pure HaP and the composites HaP/SBA-15 and HaP/MCM-41.
