What is the most probable fate of Fluoride (added to the potable water system as sodium fluoride at about 0.7 mg/l) after treatment at a WWTP. Out in the effluent at 0.7 mg/l or some in the sludge and some in the effluent or ??? We incinerate our sludge in Fluidized Bed and our two WWTP include a CMAS conventional plant and a high rate SBR.

Thank you

Most of it will pass through treatment. If your local water has significant hardness, or if you use lime in your treatment process, some will precipitate. I doubt it would harm anything.
