In this article, alkali lignin separated from paper pulp waste was grafted into a novel copolymer LSAA (a copolymer of lignin, starch, acrylamide, and acrylic acid). Its practical application e ect and environmental safety were studied. The results of field simulation experiment indicated that the application of LSAA significantly a ected the output of the runo and pollutants. The runo quantity was decreased by 16.67%–47.00% and the loads of total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) were reduced by 17.78%–62.14%, 26.32%–59.91%, 15.25%–47.42%, and 22.18%–52.78%, respectively. The tests on its environmental safety showed that LSAA did no harm the soil. Compared with polyacrylamide (PAM), a dominant product in this field, LSAA exhibited similar e ects and cheap cost. Thus, this study not only created a new product for controlling runo water quality but also o ered a beneficial application for industrial paper waste.
