Effect of grafting time during the preparation of CMC-CSAC adsorbent on A the uptake of metal ions and lactic acid and B lactic acid purity and recovery percentages in the solution after purification. CMC-CSAC was prepared by mixing 10 mL solution containing 2% CMC and 20% CA with 5 g CSAC before grafting for different durations. The adsorption was carried out by soaking 5 g CMC-CSAC in 50 mL lactic acid fermentation broth (pH 6) at room temperature for 150 min
