Unveiling the Nature of lignin's Interaction with Molecules: A Mechanistic Understanding of Adsorption of Methylene Blue Dye.

The valorization of lignin into advanced materials for water and soil remediation is experiencing a surge in demand. However, it is imperative that material research and manufacturing be sustainable to prevent exacerbating environmental issues. Meeting these requirements necessitates a deeper understanding of the role of lignin's functional groups in attracting targeted species. This research delves into the interaction mechanisms between lignin and organic molecules, using the adsorption of the cationic dye Methylene Blue (MB
