The development of useful materials for removal of pollutants from water is of great importance for the world's health. In this study, naturally occurring coal-bearing kaolinite (CBK) without thermal pre-activation was successfully modified with TiO2 by a simple one-step hydrothermal method to improve its ability to remove fluoride. The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), N-2 adsorption-desorption analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), confirming the formation of anatase nanoparticles (< 10 nm) on the surface of the CBK bulk. The obtained CBK/TiO2 nanocomposites preserved the crystalline structure of CBK and exhibited a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area as high as 118.0 m(2) g(-1). The removal efficiency of fluoride increased from 15 to 87%, when the TiO2 content in the nanocomposite was increased from 0 to 50 mass%, indicating the fluoride-removal ability of CBK improved significantly after modification with TiO2. The fluoride-adsorption kinetics fitted well with pseudo-second-order kinetic model, while the adsorption isotherm data could be described by either the Langmuir adsorption model or the Freundlich adsorption model. Moreover, the synthesized CBK/TiO2 nanocomposites exhibited excellent adsorption capacities for fluoride in groundwater and it could decrease fluoride to a lesser extent (e.g., from 5.88 to 0.98 mgL(-1)).
