Today, one of the most important issues of all is the supply of drinking and utility water, which
is the most basic need for human beings, to be healthy and reliable, economical. With social
and economic growth, increased living standards also raises the drinking and utility water requirements per capita. However, some substances in natural water sources pose a danger to
living creatures when they exceed certain concentrations. Fluoride, which can be commonly
found in waters as a result of natural or industrial effects, poses various risks for the living
not only in its deficiency, but also its excess. Therefore. the fluoride concentration should be
under control. Membrane Capacitive Deionization Process is an effective method to remove
ions from water. In this study, firstly, optimum conditions have been determined by working on
the removal of fluoride from groundwater which is prepared synthetically. Subsequently, the
groundwater, which was obtained from Isparta province and containing 7.71 mg/L fluoride,
was treated by the membrane capacitive deionization method at the optimum conditions determined by 99%. For this treatment, 0.06 kWh/m3 energy was expensed and this corresponds to
an energy cost of $ 0.006/m3.
