The solution behavior of purified sodium lignosulfonate (PSL) at different pH values were investigated by means of acid–base titration, surface tension, viscosity, fluorescence spectrometry, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) experiments. Fluorescence experiments showed that the critical aggregate concentration (CAC) of PSL was 0.05 g/L. DLS results indicated that the average dimension of PSL molecule and PSL aggregate was about 8 nm and 80 nm, respectively. The surface charge of PSL molecules and the aggregation degree of PSL in solution increased with the increasing of pH due to the ionization of sulfonic and phenolic hydroxyl groups. The size of PSL aggregates and reduced viscosity of PSL solution increased as pH values increased because expansion of the PSL cores. A model for the assembly behavior of PSL was first proposed to explain the influence of pH on the molecular configuration and aggregation behaviors of lignosulfonate in aqueous solutions.
