The use of coconut fiber as a copper adsorbent in cachaça was optimised, and changes in the chemical quality of the beverage were observed by analytical techniques. The influence of the adsorbent mass and copper concentration parameters was investigated using the Central Composite Design, and the optimum condition was obtained through the use of Response Surface Methodology. The equilibrium of the adsorption reaction was obtained within 120 min. The kinetic data were better adjusted for the Elovich model (Elovich and Zhabrova  1939 ) and the isotherm data for the Sips model (Sips  1948 ). The maximum adsorption capacity was 1.38 mg g −1 . Slight changes in the physicochemical quality of the beverage were observed, including a decrease in volatile acidity and alcohol content. Copper levels in cachaça decreased from 8.57 mg L −1  to 4.97 mg L −1  after adsorption. Therefore, the use of biomass as a metal ion adsorbent in beverages can be successfully employed.
