Lignin　can　be　adopted　as　a　promising　raw　material　to　produce　high-value　products,　such　as　adhesive,　dispering　agent,　cement　water-reducing　agent,　rubber　reinforcing　agent,　waste　water　treatment　agent,　etc.　In　this　paper,　a　novel　granular　lignin　adsorbent(GLA)was　synthesized　using　calcium　lignosulphonate　as　a　raw　material　which　was　provided　by　a　pine　sulfite　pulp　mill　in　Guangdong,　China.　The　factors　affecting　the　synthesis　of　the　granular　adsorbent　such　as　disperse　medium,　dispersing　agent,　stirring　condition,　reaction　temperature　and　acidity　were　analysed.　The　suitable　conditions　of　the　process　were:　50%　of　the　concentration　of　calcium　lignosulphonate,　2　mol/L　of　the　concentration　of　hydrochloric　acid,　2%　of　the　dosage　of　dispersant,　7%　of　the　charge　of　formaldehyde,　and　75-95　°C　for　1-6h.　The　adsorption　behavior　on　zinc　ion　and　cationic　bright-red　dye　was　studied.　The　effects　of　the　concentration,　adsorption　temperature,　time　and　pH　value　on　the　absorptive　capacity　were　analysed.　It　was　found　that　the　granular　lignin　adsorbent　had　an　excellent　adsorption　performance　for　Zn2+　and　cationic　bright-red　dye　with　nearly　100%　of　adsorption　rate.
