Groundwater fluoride contamination: A reappraisal

Dissolution of fluorite (CaF2) and/or fluorapatite (FAP) [Ca5(PO4)3F], pulled by calcite precipitation, is thought to be the dominant mechanism responsible for groundwater fluoride (F−) contamination. Here, one dimensional reactive–transport models are developed to test this mechanism using the publ...
