Nature of Humic Acids

Nature, 1963
THE idea that humic acids are heteropolycondensates1 of phenolic substances with or without the participation of amino-acids is now widely accepted. Three possible sources of the phenols are postulated: (1) phenolic materials such as flavonoids leached from the plant debris; (2) phenolic units formed during the decomposition of lignin; (3) phenolic ...

Iodide binding by humic acid

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1991
Abstract Iodide binding by humic acid was studied. The reaction was dose, temperature and pH dependent. A maximum binding of 88% was reached with 2 mg humic acid in 0.15 M Tris buffer. The efficiency of iodide binding by the buffer becomes higher whenever the buffer is slightly alkaline.

Americium Binding to Humic Acid

Environmental Science & Technology, 2001
The binding of americium (Am) by peat humic acid (PHA) has been investigated at Am concentrations between 10(-1) and 10(-7) M at pH approximately 2.6 in the presence and absence of Cu as a competing ion. Cu-PHA binding was also investigated in order to derive independent binding constants for use in modeling the competitive binding studies.

Electrochemical degradation of humic acid

Science of The Total Environment, 2000
The treatment of natural water for drinking water production goes through the degradation of humic substances. In this study, humic acid, extracted from a peat area located at the margins of the Mogi Guaçu River at São Paulo State, Brazil, was used to perform electro-oxidation essays in order to evaluate the possibilities of electrochemical methods in ...

Desmutagenic effect of humic acid

Mutation Research, 1986
In the present study, humic acid was not found to be mutagenic and did not inhibit spontaneous mutation. It did, however, inhibit the mutagenicities of benzo[a]pyrene and 3-aminoanthracene (+S9 mix), but not the mutagenicities of 4NQO, AF-2 and MNNG (-S9 mix).

Sorption of humic acids by bacteria

Microbiology, 2013
Capacity for sorption of humic acid (HA) from water solutions was shown for 38 bacterial strains. Isotherms of HA sorption were determined for the cells of 10 strains. The bonding strength between the cells and HA (k) and the terminal adsorption (Q(max)) determined from the Langmuir equation for gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria were reliably ...

Electrophoretic aggregation of humic acid

Journal of Chromatography A, 2004
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been used to characterize humic acid (HA) aggregation. It was found that when pumping HA solution through the capillary at a constant flow rate with no electric field, the number of spikes could be reduced by filtration of the solution. Applying high voltage (30 kV), the amount of spikes increased again.

Adsorption of mutagens by humic acid

Science of The Total Environment, 1987
Humic acid inhibited the mutagenicity of various mutagens. The inhibitory effect was desmutagenic, heat-resistant and increased with an increase of the humic acid molecular weight. Typical monomeric components of humic acids had no desmutagenic effect.
