Our poor knowledge of the structure and formation of humic substances stems from the lack
of suitable tools which enable the study of the molecular structure of these complex …

Humic substances are highly-abundant organic compounds formed in soils and sediments
by the decay of dead plants, microbes and animals. This book focuses on the important …

Humic substances from soils and sediments can be defined as surface active substances
based on the surface tension measurements. Although there are several micellar structural …

Humic substances play an important role in the environment. The aim of this thesis is to
enhance the understanding of the behaviour of humic substances in natural waters and their …

Knowledge of humic substances has been extended and updated since the first extraction of
any such substance by Franz Karl Achard in 1786. However, what we know is still limited …

Humic substances dissolved in groundwater may adsorb to certain mineral surfaces,
rendering hydrophilic surfaces hydrophobic and making them sorbents for hydrophobic …

The aim of our work is firstly to investigate the presence of stable molecular aggregates in
different selected humic substances (HS), and secondly, to identify the possible presence of …

Wagner (1995) discussed methods for quality assurance and qual ity control on waste
sampling for environmental monitoring. Quality assurance in sampling consists of three …

Humic substances are ubiquitous in the environment. These remarkable brown biomaterials
are found in animals, plants, coals, sediments, soils and water. They are crucial components …

Humic Acid is a natural polymer with high functionality which is omnipresent in Nature, but
was up to now hardly considered as an object of polymer synthesis. We review the known …
