It can be applied in simple fixed bed reactors, similar to those for activated alumina or activated carbon. GFH has a high adsorption capacity in model systems and in natural waters. The application of GFH in test adsorbers showed a high treatment capacity of 30 000–40 000 bed volumes, until the new German and WHO drinking water standard for arsenic of 10 μg/L was exceeded. The residue of this technique is a solid waste, enriched with arsenic. The typical residual mass is in the range of 5–25 g/m3 treated water. This new technique for arsenic removal provides a simple and effective method, particularly for small water facilities.
