Humic Acid (CAS 1415-93-6) is a complex Technical Grade organic macromolecule formed by the decomposition of plant matter, high in carbon and carrying carboxyl and phenolic functional groups, used as a soil conditioner, a heavy-metal adsorbent in water treatment, and a drilling-fluid additive. It serves as a fundamental soil conditioner that improves cation exchange capacity (CEC).
This natural polymer is characterized by its high carbon content and various functional groups like carboxyls and phenolics. It is essential for stabilizing soil structure and retaining moisture in arid regions.
In industrial settings, Humic Acid acts as a high-efficiency adsorbent for heavy metals and organic pollutants. Its robust structure makes it ideal for large-scale environmental remediation and mining processes.
Humic Acid
Applications
- Soil Amendment: Applied to depleted soils to improve nutrient retention and enhance the efficiency of mineral fertilizers.
- Water Treatment: Used as a natural flocculant and adsorbent to remove toxic heavy metals from industrial wastewater.
- Drilling Muds: Utilized in the oil and gas industry as a rheology modifier and fluid loss additive for drilling fluids.
Safety & Risks
Classified as Non-Toxic. Standard industrial PPE such as Safety Glasses and Gloves are recommended to prevent nuisance dust contact.
