Extraction and Characterization of Humic Acids and Humin Fractions from a Black Soil of China

Twenty-three progressive extractions were performed to study individual humic acids (HAs) and humin fractions from a typical black soil (Mollisol) in Heilongjiang Province, China using elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. After 23 HA extractions the residue was separated into high and low organic carbon humin fractions. HA yield was the highest for the first extraction and then gradually decreased with further extractions. Organic carbon (OC) of the humin fractions accounted for 58% of total OC …

Effects of organic acids on heavy metal release or immobilization in contaminated soil

In order to explicit the environmental activity of heavy metals affected by different organic acids in soil,a batch incubation experiment was explored to investigate the influence of high relative molecular mass organic acid(HMWOA)(humic acid and fulvic acid)and low relative molecular mass organic acid(LMWOA)(threonic acid and oxalic acid)on the release or immobilization of Pb,Cu and Cd in soils.Results showed that LMWOA,especially threonic acid,had a good performance in the release of Pb,Cu and Cd from soils,and decrease in the fractions of HOAc-extractable,reducible and oxidable Pb,Cu and Cd.Conversely,HMWOA,especially humic acid,decreased the release of Pb,Cu and Cd,while it increased the fractions of HOAc-extractable,reducible and oxidable Pb,Cu and Cd,indicating that HMWOA can immobilize heavy metals.The release of Pb,Cu and Cd caused by LMWOA was attributed to the dissociation of soil organic matter and amorphous iron oxides since the total organic carbon and the water-soluble iron increased.The immobilization of Pb,Cu and Cd by HMWOA was attributed to the adsorption onto HMWOA followed by amorphous iron since HMWOA resulted in a significant decrease of zeta potential and an increase of amorphous iron oxide.It can be concluded that LMWOA has a potential application in soil washing remediation,while HMWOA can be used in the immobilization remediation for heavy metals contaminated soils.

Characteristics and distributions of humic acids in two soil profiles of the southwest China Karst area

Characteristics and distributions of humic acid(HA) and soil organic matter(SOM) in a yellow soil profile and a limestone soil profile of the southwest China Karst area were systematically investigated to reveal their evolutions in different soils of the study area. The results showed that characteristics and distribution of SOM along the two soil profiles were notably different. Total organic carbon(TOC) contents of soil samples decreased just slightly along the limestone soil profile but sharply along the yellow soil profile. TOCs of the limestone soils were significantly higher than those of the corresponding yellow soils, and C/N ratios of SOMs showed a similar variation trend to that of TOCs, indicating that SOM can be better conserved in the limestone soil than in the yellow soil. The soil humic acids were exhaustively extracted and further fractionated according to their apparent molecular weights using ultrafiltration techniques to explore underlying conservation mechanisms. The result showed that C/N ratios of HAs from different limestone soil layers were relatively stable and that large molecular HA fractions predominated the bulk HA of the top soil, indicating that HA in the limestone profile was protected while bio and chemical degradations were retarded. Combined with organic elements contents and mineral contents of two soils, weconcluded that high calcium contents in limestone soils may play a key role in SOM conservation by forming complexation compounds with HAs or/and enclosing SOMs with hypergene CaCO_3 precipitation.

The effects of soil sand contents on characteristics of humic acids along soil profiles

It is generally accepted that the compositions and properties of soil organic matter （SOM） are influenced by many factors. In order to reveal the effects of soil texture on characteristics and dynamics of SOM and its sub-fraction, humic acid （HA）, along two soil profiles, a yellow soil profile and a purplish soil profile, under the same climate and vegetation conditions were determined. Results indi- cate that the decomposition and humification degrees of SOM and HA of the purplish soils are higher than those of the corresponding yellow soils indicated by A/O-A ratios of HAs, TOCs and HA yields of bulk soil samples, neverthe- less, the development degree of the purplish soil is lower than that of the yellow soil. The variations of E4/E6 ratios of HAs along the soil profiles indicate the overall molecular sizes of HAs decreased downward along the soil profiles. A/O-A ratios of HAs decreased downward along both the soil profiles indicate that humification processes decrease downward along both the soil profiles. Leaching of SOM shows significant effects on the distribution and character- istics of HAs in the yellow soil profile but the purplish soil profile, which is consistent with the higher hydrophobicity of HAs in purplish soils, shows that the distribution char- acteristics of SOM along the soil profiles are a complex result of the combination of soil texture and characteristics of SOM itself. The remarkably different sand contents are concluded tentatively as one of reasons to the differentdistributions and dynamics of HAs along the soil profiles, however, to profoundly understand the evolution and transport of SOM along soil profiles needs more researches.

Spectroscopic characteristics of two typical soil humic acids in China

Humic acid （HA） is known to be a complex organic compound with varying structural and functional characteristics. In this study, three-dimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy （3DEEM）, ultraviolet-visible （UV-Vis） and Fourier-transform infrared （FT-IR） were applied to study the fluorescence characteristics and structure of two typical soil HAs in China. The effects of concentration of HA, pH and ionic strength on the fluorescence behaviors were investigated. The results indicate that ionic strength over the range from 0 to 0.05mol L^-1 NaNO3 did not affect the 3DEEM of HA. The concentration of HA and pH of the test solution had obvious effects on the 3DEEM. When the concentration of soil HA was lower than 10mg L^-1, HA has only one obvious fluorescence peak. However, there were several fluorescence peaks for HA in high concentration （≥50mg L^-1）, and its Ex/Em maximum wavelength shifted towards longer wavelength with increasing the concentration of HA. The fluorescence intensity of HA enhanced with the increase of pH, and achieved maximum at pH 10. The effect of pH on the fluorescence intensity of black soil HA （BHA） was the severest and a polycondensation of BHA existed with the change of pH. At the same condition, the fluorescence intensity of red soil HA （RHA） was stronger than that of BHA. At the excitation wavelength of 340nm, the maximum emission peak positions of RHA and BHA were 474 and 504nm at pH 6.0, and their fluorescence quantum yields （QY） were 2.1-2.5% and 1.5-1.9%, respectively. Based on the maximum emission peak positions and fluorescence quantum yield, RHA and BHA can be distinguished.

ON THE DIVISION OF NORTH BOUNDARY OF SUBTROPICALZONE ACCORDING TO THE COMPOSITIONS AND PROPERTIES OF SOIL HUMUS

In this paper predecessors′achievements about the division between subtropical zone and warm temperate zone on the south slope of Funiu Mountain are firstly summarized, and the cause why these viewpoints about the division are different also has been presented. Seven soil profiles at different heights above sea level are dug along the south slope of Funiu Mountain. Many compositions and properties of soil humus have been analyzed in laboratory. A comprehensive study has been made about the division according to the compositions and properties of soil humus with mathematical method. During the analysis process eight indexes have been used, such as altitude, organic carbon, humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA), the ratio of humic acid and fulvic acid (HA/FA), two extinction coefficients (E4,E6), and their ratio (E4/E6).The result indicates that the boundary is at about 1000 meters above sea level.

Movement of Phosphorus in a Calcareous Soil as Affected by Humic Acid

When humic acid (HA) and phosphorus (P) fertilizer are simultaneously applied to soil, HA may affect the movement of P. A laboratory incubation experiment was conducted to quantify the effects of a commercial HA product co-applied with monocalcium phosphate (MCP) on the distance of P movement and the concentration of P in various forms at different distances from the P fertilizer application site in a calcareous soil from northern China. Fertilizer MCP (at a rate equivalent to 26.6 kg P ha-1 ) was applied alone or in combination with HA (at 254.8 kg HA ha-1 ) to the surface of soil packed in cylinders (150 mm high and 50 mm internal diameter), and then incubated at 320 g kg-1 moisture content for 7 and 28 d periods. Extraction and analysis of each 2 mm soil layer in columns showed that the addition of HA to MCP increased the distance of P movement and the concentrations of water-extractable P, acid-extractable P and Olsen P in soil. The addition of HA to MCP could enhance P availability by increasing the distance of P movement and the concentration of extractable P in soil surrounding the P fertilizer.

Lignite-Derived Humic Acid Effect on Growth of Wheat Plants in Different Soils

Humic acid （HA）, a fairly stable product of decomposed organic matter that consequently accumulates in ecological systems, enhances plant growth by chelating unavailable nutrients and buffering pH. We examined the effect of HA derived from lignite on growth and macronutrient uptake of wheat （Triticum acstivum L.） grown in earthen pots under greenhouse conditions. The soils used in the pot experiment were a calcareous Haplustalf and a non-calcareous Haplustalf collected from Raisalpur and Guliana, respectively, in Punjab Province, Pakistan. The experiment consisted of four treatments with HA levels of 0 （control without HA）, 30, 60, and 90 mg kg^-1 soil designated as HA0, HA1, HA2, and HA3, respectively. In the treatment without HA （HA0）, nitrogen （N）, phosphorus （P）, and potassium （K） were applied at 200, 100, and 125 mg kg^-1 soil, respectively. Significant differences among HA levels were recorded for wheat growth （plant height and shoot weight） and N uptake. On an average of both soils, the largest increases in plant height and shoot fresh and dry weights were found with HA2 （60 mg kg^-1 soil）, being 10%, 25%, and 18%, respectively, as compared to the control without HA （HA0）. Both soils responded positively towards HA application. The wheat growth and N uptake in the non-calcareous soil were higher than those of the calcareous soil. The HA application significantly improved K concentration of the non-calcareous soil and P and NO3-N of the calcareous soil. The highest rate of HA （90 mg kg^-1 soil） had a negative effect on growth and nutrient uptake of wheat as well as nutrient accumulation in soil, whereas the medium dose of HA （60 mg kg^-1 soil） was more efficient in promoting wheat growth.
