Adsorption of cadmium from aqueous solution onto untreated coffee grounds: Equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics

TL;DR: It was concluded that the cadmium adsorption kinetic onto coffee grounds was well fitted by second order kinetic model rather than first order model, suggesting that coffee grounds have high possibility to be used as effective and economical adsorbent for Cd(2+) removal.
