A method for removing metal contaminants from water uses lignin derivatives, such as lignosulfonates and kraft lignin, a coagulant, such as a metal salt, and a pH-increasing composition. The lignin derivative is dispersed in the contaminated water, the coagulant is added and the pH is adjusted as required to cause flocculation. A sludge is formed that contains the metals and that is separated from the treated water by filtration. Related methods are used to reduce the leachable metal content of contaminated soils. The invention also provides a composition for stabilizing the metal contaminants in soil, comprising lignin derivatives, a coagulant and a composition for increasing the pH. The mixture is blended with the contaminated soil, reducing its leachable metal content.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of removing dissolved metal contaminants from water, wherein said metal contaminants comprise one or more of mercury, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and aluminum, comprising the steps of: (a) dispersing lignin derivatives in said dissolved metal-contaminated w
What is claimed is: 1. A method of removing dissolved metal contaminants from water, wherein said metal contaminants comprise one or more of mercury, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and aluminum, comprising the steps of: (a) dispersing lignin derivatives in said dissolved metal-contaminated water, said lignin derivatives comprising one or more of lignosulfonates, kraft lignin and sulfonated kraft lignin salts to form a lignin-metal complex; (b) dispersing a coagulant comprising a ferric salt in the mixture formed in step (a), the mass ratio of the lignin derivatives to the coagulant being at least 1:1; (c) adjusting the ph of the mixture formed in step (b) to a pH in the range of 4-10, causing the formation of a floc including hydrolyzed coagulant and said lignin-metal complex; (d) allowing said floc to settle, resulting in a liquid and a sludge; and (e) separating said sludge from said liquid. 2. A method according to claim 1 wherein said lignosulfonates comprise one or more of: (i) ammonium lignosulfonates; (ii) calcium lignosulfonates; (iii) sodium lignosulfonates; and (iv) potassium lignosulfonates. 3. A method according to claim 1 wherein said sulfonated kraft lignin salts comprise sulfonated kraft lignin salts of ammonium, calcium, sodium or potassium. 4. A method according to claim 1 wherein said ferric salt is ferric chloride. 5. A method according to claim 1 wherein said ferric salt is ferric sulfate. 6. A method according to claim 1 wherein the mass ratio of said lignin derivatives to said coagulant is at least 1:2. 7. A method according to claim 1 wherein said pH is adjusted by the addition of one or more of hydrated lime, calcium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, soda ash and sodium hydroxide. 8. A method according to claim 1 wherein said pH is adjusted to a pH in the range of 5-6. 9. A method according to claim 1 wherein step (d) comprises allowing said floc to settle in a clarifier. 10. A method according to claim 1 wherein step (e) comprises removing said sludge by filtration. 11. A method according to claim 1, wherein, in step (b), said coagulant consists essentially of said ferric salt.
