during the metal oxide precipitation, generating metal oxides with enhanced properties for the arsenic and fluoride removal from water. We hope that the concepts
revised herein motivate further research in adsorbent materials science to remove
different pollutants. In this respect, we hope that the mechanisms suggested here
serve as a starting point for future research.
