The adsorption performance and influencing factors of four adsorbent materials—active alumina (AA), hydroxyapatite (HAP), fly ash (FA), and bone char (BC)—were investigated. The results indicate that positioning the adsorption fluoride removal filter at the tail end of the industrial wastewater treatment process yields a fluoride removal efficiency that is over 10 % higher compared to placing it at the front end. The investigation into the adsorption effectiveness of the four adsorbents revealed that HAP dosage only needs 2 g to reduce 250 ml fluorinated industrial wastewater containing 2–10 mg/L to the target concentration of 1.5 mg/L or less. Moreover, the adsorption process requires only 30 minutes. From the perspective of adsorption performance, HAP is the most effective, followed by AA.
