Three humic acids (HA) and one fulvic acid (FA) are extracted from soils of the Okch'on Basin (Koyesan, Yongkwang and Taejon), and are purified and characterized using $^1H,\;^{13}C$ NMR, and IR spectroscopic methods. The results are compared with one another and with commerical humic acid (Aldrich Co) and aquatic humic acid from Gorleben underground aquifer in Germany. The IR and $^1H\;and\;^{13}C$ NMR spectral features are found to be nearly identical, suggesting that humic substances formed in the Okch'on Basin have quite similar chemical properties. These humic substances from Okch'on Basin soils have undergone low degree of aromatic condensation and have high contents of aliphatic functionalities including carbohydrates.

The photodegradation of TCBs in humic acid solutions at pH 7 was evaluated under laboratory sunlight simulated irradiation for 8 and 42 days. The irradiation to TCBs in solution in the presence of humic acid produced trichlorophenols, dichlorophenols in addition to the minor photodegraded products such as dichlorobutadiene, dichlorobenzaldehyde and pentachlorobiphenyls. The formation of photodegradation products indicate that the excited singlet oxygen and solvated electrons play a major contributors to the photodegradation process.

56.2% of Aldrich HA was recovered from water by XAD-8 and AGMP-50 procedure. With this method, 0.58mg/l of HA was determined in the water collected from irrigation reservoir near Tae Dok Science Town. For the removal of ash from Aldrich HA, centrifugation was simple, but as effective as dialysis. Neither centrifugation nor dialysis removed Na at all. Only with XAD-8 and AGMP-50 procedure, Na and ash were completely removed.

Objectives: This study was carried out to examine whether the apparent photolysis with or without sensitizers [NaOH and humic acid (HA)] was prompted photodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) in aqueous solution. Methods: PCBs photodegradation occurred using fluorescence black lamps at ${\lambda}_{max}=300nm$. PCB congeners were exposed in 10 ppm HA or 0.05N NaOH solutions, to investigate the decreasing profile of PCB concentration with time. The PCBs were then analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Reductive degradation profile of PCB congeners in the presence of both sensitizers under oxygen-saturated protic conditions was described using the wind-rose diagrams. Results: Use of HA or NaOH decreased PCB concentration with time in the dark and on irradiation, indicating that photolysis underwent through reductive dechlorination through energy transfer and possibly with reactive oxygens. The dechlorination was marked by a chromatographic shift, observed in the GC-MS plots. Therefore it is logical to assume that increasing the dose of sensitizers would increase the photodegradation rates of PCBs. The half-lives of pentachloro-PCB (penta-3) in 0.05N NaOH and 10 ppm HA were estimated at about 47 hours and 39 hours, respectively, under the same experimental conditions of photolysis. It was found that the rate of photolysis of pentachloro-PCB in aqueous solution followed apparent first-order kinetics compared to other congeners. Conclusion: Photochemical degradation (using 328 nm UV light) of penta- and hexa-PCBs in HA or alkaline solution is a viable method for pretreatment method. The results are helpful for the further comprehension of the reaction mechanism for photolytic dechlorination of PCBs in aquatic system.

The ability of benzothiadiazole (BTH) and/or humic acid (HA) used as seed soaking to induce systemic resistance against a pathogenic strain of Fusarium oxysporum was examined in four soybean cultivars under greenhouse conditions. Alone and in combination the inducers were able to protect soybean plants against damping-off and wilt diseases compared with check treatment. These results were confirmed under field conditions in two different locations (Minia and New Valley governorates). The tested treatments significantly reduced damping-off and wilt diseases and increased growth parameters, except the number of branches per plant and also increased seed yield. Application of BTH (0.25 g/L) + HA (4 g/L) was the most potent in this respect. Soybean seed soaking in BTH + HA produced the highest activities of the testes of oxidative enzymes followed by BTH in the four soybean cultivars. HA treatment resulted in the lowest increases of these oxidative enzymes. Similar results were obtained with total phenol but HA increased total phenol more than did BTH in all tested cultivars.

This study aimed at improving the $TiO_2$ photocatalytic degradation of HA. In this study, the Degradation of Humic Acid using Jeju Scoria Coated with $WO_3/TiO_2$ in the presence of UV irradiation was investigated as a function of different experimental condition : photocatalyst dosage, $Ca^{2+}\;and\;HCO_{3}_{-}$ addition and pH of the solution. Photodegradation efficiency increased with increasing photocatalyst dosage, the optimum catalyst dosage is 2.5 g/L and Photodegradation efficiency is maximized to $WO_3/TiO_2=3/7$. This indicates that $WO_3$ retains a much higher Lewis surface acidity than $TiO_2,\;and\;WO_3$ has a higher affinity for chemical species having unpaired electrons. The addtion of cation($Ca^{2+}$) in water increased the photodegradaion efficiency. But the addtion of $HCO_{3}^{-}$ ion in water decreased a photodegradation efficiency. Photodegradation efficiency increased with decreasing pH < pzc, the electrostatic repulsion between the HA and the surface of $TiO_2$ decreased.

Humic acid (HA) is known to consist of various kinds of polymeric organics, their detailed structures can vary depend on sample sources such as organic manure, composts, peat, and lignite brown coal, and largely exists in grassland soils. HA possesses diverse positive effects that not only increase plant growth but also improve soil fertility. Recently, we have manufactured a co-polymeric product of catechol and vanillic acid (CAVA) synthesized artificially, and found that CAVA as a HA mimic increases seed germination and salt tolerance in Arabidopsis. In this study, we examined whether HA or CAVA affects to seedling growth in alfalfa. Foliar application of HA or CAVA increased alfalfa seedling growth including aerial and in root parts. HA or CAVA dramatically enhanced size of leaf and root, whereas HA significantly displayed higher bioactivity than CAVA. Taken together, CAVA acts like as a HA mimic in alfalfa that could apply as an alternation supplement to enhance plant growth and productivity.

폴리아마이드 역삼투막 표면에 음이온 수용성 고분자인 poly(vinyl amine)(PVAm)을 코팅한 후 오염물질인 bovine serum albumin (BSA), humic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA)에 대하여 파울링 개선효과가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. PVAm의 코팅과 파울링 여부는 scanning electron microscopy (SEM)을 통해 관찰하였다. BSA, HA, SA 100 ppm 공급원액을 이용하여 2, 4, 8 bar로 압력을 변화시켜 투과성능실험을 수행한 결과 PVAm으로 코팅되지 않은 막과 코팅된 막 모두 압력증가에 따라 파울링 현상이 심화되었으나 PVAm으로 코팅된 막이 BSA, HA, SA의 경우 모두에서 약 30%이상 투과도가 향상되어 파울링 개선효과가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. HA > SA > BSA의 순으로 파울링 개선효과가 나타났으며 HA의 경우 가장 두드러지게 나타났다.

시설재배지의 작물생육 촉진에 대한 부식산 비료의 시용 효과를 구명하고자 본 실험을 수행하였으며, 열매채소류의 하나인 토마토(Lycopersicon esculentum MILL.)를 공시작물로 하여 질소(N), 인산(P), 칼리(K) 비료만을 적정 농도로 추비 공급한 대조구와 N, P, K 비료에 서로 다른 종류의 부식산(humic acid)을 함유한 액상 부식산비료A 처리구, 액상 부식산비료B 처리구 및 고상의 부식산비료C 처리구를 각각 설정하여 추비 공급하였다. 엽수, 절간장, 경경, 최대 엽장 및 엽폭, 엽록소함량 등 대부분의 작물 생장 특성은 부식산비료 처리구 모두에서 우수하거나 대조구와 유사하였다. 과실의 평균 중량, 당도, 산도 등 품질 특성도 전반적으로 대조구 대비 부식산비료 처리구 모두에서 우수하였으며, 공시 부식산 비료로 인한 비해는 발생하지 않았다. 그러나, 생육 촉진과 품질 향상을 위해서는 향후 보다 다양한 작목과 환경에서 광범위한 실증시험 데이터를 확보하여 그 안전성과 재현성을 면밀히 검토하는 것이 중요할 것으로 생각된다.
