Wastewater pollution has become a critical global environmental issue. This study focuses on synthesizing of new biosorbents by incorporating extracted lignin into two types of clays: fibrous sepiolite (SP) and phyllosilicate bentonite (BT). The goal was to develop cost-effective adsorbents capable...
