EVALUATION OF HEAVY METAL REMOVAL BY OXIDISED LIGNINS IN ACID MEDIA FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

The capacity for removal of heavy metals from liquid streams by formation of complexes with lignins oxidized by acid treatment was studied. Lignins were obtained from different sources: sulfuric acid pretreated cane bagasse, soda pulping bagasse, eucalypt Kraft lignin, and commercial Kraft lignin....
