TLDR
In this paper, the sorbent data have been analyzed and fitted to linearized adsorption isotherms, which are believed to constitute a database for the treatment of one industrial plant's effluent with the solid waste of another, and also to utilize unconventional sorbents such as alumina, silica and ferric oxides.

Single- and multi-component adsorption of cadmium and zinc using activated carbon derived from bagasse--an agricultural waste.

TL;DR: Activated carbon derived from bagasse, an agricultural waste material, has been investigated as a replacement for the current expensive methods of removing heavy metals from wastewater and it was concluded that the adsorption occurs through a film diffusion mechanism at low as well as at higher concentrations.
