SI Table 3. Efficiency offluoride removal from fifteen geothermal water samples collected from the Yangbajing geothermal field (YBJ), the Yangyi geothermal field (YY), the Rehai geothermal field (RH), and theLongling geothermal field (LL) by calcined hydrotalcite at 65 °C.25 mL of geothermal water was used in all experiments.
