Fixed-Bed Adsorption Study with Brewer’s Spent Grain for the Removal of Heavy Metals in Model Waters

Heavy metals are toxic water contaminants that require a clean-up treatment. Adsorption is a widely used treatment method which is easy to implement and operate, while being constrained by the high cost of adsorbents. Biosorbents made from industrial organic residual materials are inexpensive with an inherent ability to adsorb heavy metals trough functional groups. In this study by Philipp Dancker, Karl Glas, and Martina Gastl​, the ability of brewer’s spent grain as a biosorbent for heavy metal waste water remediation was evaluated with a fixed-bed adsorber and a batch experiment.​
