    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a granulation adsorbent having high strength and in particular stability in water that ensures certain throughputs at low costs. The granulated adsorbent of the invention comprises a metal-cyano complex as an effective component, a flocculation precipitant for flocculation precipitation of the metal-cyano complex from slurry containing the metal-cyano complex, a binder, and a crosslinking agent. The granulated adsorbent is produced by a step of adding the flocculation precipitant to the metal-cyano complex slurry and then dehydrating the metal-cyano complex slurry to prepare a metal-cyano complex dehydrated cake, a step of heat drying the metal-cyano complex dehydrated cake to prepare a metal-cyano complex dried block, a step of pulverizing the metal-cyano complex dried block into metal-cyano complex powder, and a step of preparing a mixture containing the metal-cyano complex powder, binder and crosslinking agent, and then granulating using the mixture.
