“…Grafted cellulose and lignin copolymers have, on one hand, the characteristics of the electron exchangers and, on the other hand, characteristics of complexes with high degree of selectivity. They have been used as new cellulose and lignin materials for noble metal ions containing wastewater treatments for chemical and electronic industries (Alguacil, 1998;Al-Merey et al, 2003;Azarudeen et al, 2009;Chang &Chen, 2006;Farang et al, 2007;Hussain & Khan 2011;Ladhe, 2008;Nguyen et al, 2010;O Malley, 2002;Ran et al, 2002;Zhong et al, 2007). Chemical and electrochemical modification of cellulose and lignin is based on synthesis of new materials with 4-vinylpyridine or similar vinyl derivatives of heterocyclic skeleton with at least one nitrogen atom, and they were used as specific chemisorbents of noble metals ions from dissolved aqueous solutions.…”
