Wastewater
Introduction of foreign industrially produced organic (e.g., fatty acids and protein) and inorganic material (e.g., heavy metals) to water resources has become a global concern. In addition, the municipal waste effluents contain considerable concentrations of drugs and pharmaceutical products as well as detergents and dye pigments. We have generated lignin-based flocculants with superior functionality. Not only these products reduce the load of chemical use for cleaning wastewater effluent (and thus they produce less secondary sludge), but also they are biobased and generally reduce the use of synthetic oil-based products in water resources. In addition, the resultant sludge would contain lignin, which may have potential usage in the production of fertilizers and/ or animal feed mixtures.

Construction
The fluidity of concrete admixtures significantly impacts the workability of the concrete admixture in construction sites, especially in cold climate countries. Water reducers (also known as plasticizers) are extensively used in the construction industry to increase the fluidity of concrete admixtures or reducing the water content of cement pastes. Thanks to the superior properties of our lignin-based products, they have shown promising results in dispersing cement particles and improve cement admixtures’ workability.
