Enhanced efficiency of a chemically modified hyperbranched Kraft lignin in the removal of pharmaceuticals from water at low microgram per liter levels

TL;DR: In this paper, a hyperbranched polymer was prepared by chemically modifying Kraft lignin introducing nitrogen atoms in its structure using urea-formaldehyde as precursors and thus increasing the amount of active sites of Lignin, which was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, SEM-EDS microscopy, elemental analysis, helium pycnometry and N2 physisorption.
