In the present work it was intended to evaluate the seaweed Sargassum filipendula in its ability to remove the copper metal in the presence of calcium metal in order to verify the effect of the presence of calcium from the calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime) used in primary treatment of effluents by chemical precipitation. Therefore, it was first carried out to study the kinetics of sorption of copper and calcium under batch, at concentrations of 50 and 200 µg/mL, and then was studied equilibrium sorption of copper and calcium, also under batch, using solutions isolated and combined calcium and copper in varied concentrations, with biomass washed with water and with 0.1 M HCl in order to check if an improvement in biosorption with the protonation of biomass. Results from the kinect study of copper and calcium showed in all cases that the balancing occur until the first 30 minutes and the results of copper were best fitted to a second order kinetic model, while the results of the calcium not adjusted to either of the two proposed models. It was also possible to see a direct relationship between biosorption of copper and release of alkaline elements, alkaline - earth metals, suggesting the involvement of ion exchange during the process. Already with the results of the results of the study of equilibrium biosorption of copper and calcium, it was possible to obtain some conclusions, among which we can highlight the predilection for the Langmuir isotherm model and interference in biosorption of copper caused by the presence of calcium in the solution. At this stage, it was still possible to re establish the correlation between the exchange of copper and alkali / alkaline earth. The models of pseudo- first order and second order were used to evaluate the kinetics of adsorption of metal ions by biomass, while the models of Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich, will be used to represent the equilibrium of biosorption
