Abstract

This article shows a review of the different waste from the process and consumption coffee, used as adsorbent material in the biosorption of the heavy metal of aqueous solutions. In the first instance, some peculiarities of biosorption are outlined, such as the capturing pollutants mechanisms, kind of adsorbent materials including those from coffee, as well as the variables that control the process. In a second instance, different investigations are carried out in relation to biosorption, in which chemical kinetics was developed to assessment of heavy metals removal rates, and adsorption isotherms to determine adsorption rates or capacities with thermally or chemically modified coffee waste. It can then be noted that many authors have found competitive advantages over the use of waste such as pulp,  husks, mucilage, spend grain, among others, compared to conventional adsorbents, since their physicochemical properties make them excellent ion exchangers with metals heavy, are of high abundance due to the agricultural vocation of our country and the high  coffee consumption  that is presented nationally and internationally, in addition to its low cost and ease in handling and treatment, concluding then that these materials present a future promising in the treatment of liquid effluents with heavy metals.
