Excessive fluoride in drinking water causes serious harm to human body. Adsorption is a simple

cost-effective and economical separation technology among the methods of treating fluoride polluted wastewater. Developing low-cost adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and easy regeneration property is one of the significant research objects. Polymer-based adsorbent is one of the most investigated adsorbents

which has attracted considerable interest in recent years. Combined with the latest research

this paper reviewed the preparation and modification of conducting polymers

biopolymers and resin-based adsorbents

as well as their adsorption performance and mechanism of F

. Finally

the development aspect of polymer-based adsorbents was prospected.
