Aiming the removal of metals from biodiesel without the generation of great volumes of wastewater or residual solvents, studies are being conducted in order to identify and apply biomaterials with high adsorbing properties combined with sustainable properties such as abundance, low cost, biodegradability, and low waste generation. The cellulosic pulp has great potential for metal adsorption due to the presence of active hydroxyl groups in its main chain, and also has other advantages, including non-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, abundance and renewability (Gemeiner et al., 1998).
