TLDR
The ability of sawdust (treated and untreated) waste to remove/preconcentrate Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution was determined, and the binding of metal ions was found to be pH dependent, optimal sorption accruing at around pH 4-8.About:

Kinetics of Adsorption on Carbon from Solution
Walter J. Weber,J. C. Morris +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the rate of adsorption of persistent organic compounds on granular carbon is quite low and the rate is partially a function of the pore size distribution of the adsorbent, of the molecular size and configuration of the solute, and of the relative electrokinetic properties of adsorbate and adsorbents.
