  We develop a model that captures the dominant chemical mechanisms involved in
the removal of fluoride from water by a novel adsorbent comprising mineral rich
carbon (MRC) and chemically treated mineral rich carbon (TMRC). Working with
experimental data, we validate the model for both MRC and TMRC based on the
underlying chemical reactions. The model we derive from the chemical
composition of TMRC and MRC shows good agreement with experimental results.
