The ultimate analyses, u.v.-visible absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra and i.r. spectra of five humic acids have been studied. One was obtained commercially from peat, two from organic-rich soils, one from an estuary and one from a marine sediment. The U.V. spectra were used to compare average
It has been found that humic acids in aqueous solution, as previously found with their sodium salts, behave as linear polyelectrolytes. A possible explanation in terms of intermolecular associative forces is suggested.
Small-angle neutron scattering experiments have been made on solutions of humic acid aggregates with an acidity corresponding to pH 5.0 and at 0.1 M ionic strength. We observe power-law decay of the intensity over one decade of the scattering vector, Q, indicating that the aggregates are fractal. We
