Fractionational and structural characterization of lignin and its modification as biosorbents for efficient removal of chromium from wastewater: a review

Abstract The removal of chromium (Cr) from wastewater by various adsorbents has been investigated. As compared with the commercial activated carbon, the biosorbents with inexpensive and high adsorption capacities are developed from lignocellulosic wastes. Lignin, existing in lignocellulosic biomass,...
