Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method for purifying lignin. The method comprises the steps of: providing alkaline black liquor; removing inorganic impurities from the black liquor to obtain purified black liquor; acidifying the purified black liquor to precipitate lignin; separating the precipitated lignin from the acidified purified black liquor; mixing the precipitated lignin with an acidic solution so as to remove inorganic impurities from the precipitated lignin and obtain purified lignin; and separating the obtained purified lignin from the acidic solution. The content of inorganic impurities in the purified lignin is reduced by the method according to the present invention.
