Popis: Research goal of this paper represents a novel method of synthesis of an amino-modified, highly effective natural polymer adsorbent kraft lignin based, functionalized with magnetite nanoparticles, for effective removal of chromate anions from water solution. Amino-modified lignin microspheres (LMS-NM) were synthesized via inverse suspension copolymerization of kraft lignin with poly(ethylene imine) grafting-agent and epichlorohydrin cross-linker. The porous structure of the synthesized adsorbent was formed using a 5.0 wt.% sodium-alginate solution. Additional efficiency in the removal of chromium anions from water was achieved by functionalization of lignin microspheres with magnetite (NM) nanoparticles obtained by co-precipitation and additional introduction of amino groups. Structure of formed LMS-NM was confirmed via Furrier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Optical microscopy analyses showed the creation of sphere-shaped materials and showed the diameter of prepared LMS-NM in the range of 500 to 800 µm. The removal of chromate anions from water solution was performed in a batch system. The result confirmed high adsorption efficiency and potential application of this nature-based adsorbent for heavy metal anions removal.
