Abstract
It was shown with the isolation of a humic acid (HA) preparation from a typical chernozem by sequential alkaline extraction as an example that the preparative yield of HAs decreased at each sequential extraction stage by 3–4 times. On the basis of studying the obtained preparations using elemental analysis, gel-penetration chromatography, and 13C NMR spectroscopy, the tendencies of the changes in the structural-group and molecular-weight compositions of the HAs from one extraction stage to the next one were revealed. The conclusion was drawn that a single extraction is sufficient for obtaining a representative HA sample.
