Angie,
See if any of these help:

"Try a 4.5 inch concrete "diamond cup" grinder works great for concrete steps.

For large commercial areas use a scarifier (buffer machine with 11 little scraper blades) or a shot blaster"

Sentinel Pro makes various solvents for removing adhesives. If the adhesive is black might Mastic glue/or cut back.
