Abstract

Over the ages, the deposits of dead vegetation buried by rock and mudflows, compacted and compressed out all of the moisture; it slowly carbonized and became coal. Humic acids are natural organic acids - brown coloured biological macromolecules, formed in coal by biochemical changes (decomposition, pyrolysis) of lignocellulosic matter. From lignite coal bed, the humates were extracted in alkaline medium and isolated from the residual fraction. Humic acids were obtained by treating humates' solutions with HCl. Thermal analysis (TG, DTG, DTA and DSC) was used in order to establish the decomposition and thermal effects of lignite, humates, humic acids and residual matter extracted from Rovinari mines in Romania. A non-isothermal linear temperature regime was imposed to reveal all decomposition steps.

Extraction of humic acid from peat and lignite and the thermal behavior of their mixtures with ammonium nitrate

Dominik Niewes, Marcin Biegun, Marta Huculak-Maczka, Kinga Marecka, Maciej Kaniewski, Jakub Zielinski, Jozef Hoffmann

Summary: Humic acids (HA) are widely considered for fertilizer production due to their positive effect on soil structure and the improvement of nutrient uptake efficiency in plant roots. This study aimed to investigate the influence of humic acids extracted from peat and lignite on the thermal decomposition of HA and mixtures of ammonium nitrate (AN) and humic acids. Spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis were used to assess the quality of HA. The results showed differences in the degree of humification and elemental composition of the extracted HA. The molecular structure and functional group content of HA significantly affected the thermal decomposition process.

Humates and Chlorides Synergistically Increase Cd Phytoaccumulation in Strawberry Fruits, Heightening Health Risk from Cd in Human Diet

Gabrijel Ondrasek, Ivana Jelovica Badovinac, Robert Peter, Mladen Petravic, Jelena Macan, Zed Rengel

Summary: The study found that salt-affected and sandy soils can exacerbate the transfer of the metal cadmium into the food chain. Salinity, humates, and cadmium contamination significantly influenced the accumulation of cadmium in strawberry plants, with elevated concentrations exceeding the European maximum limit in leaves and fruits. Surface analyses revealed the different properties of the substrates, with the SiO2-rich substrate having a nonporous and chemically unreactive surface, and the humates matrix characterized by abundant micro-porosity and reactive radicals. Chemical speciation modeling showed that most of the cadmium in the rhizosphere solution was dissolved and distributed among various pools, including bioavailable Cd2+, Cl-complexed, and HA-complexed forms.

Summary: A cost-effective and energy-efficient nitro-humification process was developed for nitrogen functionalization and activation of lignite humic substances. Different metrics were determined for the processed lignite including solubility, physicochemical properties, oxidation degree, nitrogen functionalization, spectral ratios, and surface functionalization. The process showed improved solubility, balanced nitrogen binding forms, and enhanced carbon and nitrogen content. It also increased cation exchange capacity, carboxylic and phenolic groups, crystallinity index, and availability of macromicronutrients and rare earth elements.

Summary: Mechanochemical modification of lignite with an eco-friendly oxidizer, sodium percarbonate, allows for one-step solvent-free oxidation. The oxidized lignite can enhance grass height and weight, especially when combined with fertilizer and additional sowing. The study provides recommendations for maintaining lawns on highway dividers.

Non-isothermal pyrolysis kinetics characteristics of ZhaoTong lignite using thermogravimetric analysis

Lin Hu, Long He, Xianhou Guo, Guanghua Wang

Summary: This study investigated the effects of heating rate and ash content on the pyrolysis kinetic characteristics of ZhaoTong lignite using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) method. It was found that the non-isothermal pyrolysis process of lignite was strongly influenced by the heating rate and ash content. The demineralization treatment of raw lignite resulted in an increase in carboxyl groups content and a decrease in hydroxyl content and minerals content. The pyrolysis kinetics characteristics, such as activation energy (E) and frequency factor (A), were discussed using the Coats-Redfern method. The study also showed that the activation energy of lignite pyrolysis increased with increasing heating rate, while it decreased with increasing ash content. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for the large-scale pyrolysis of lignite.

The WHIF fertilizer obtained through this method showed higher stability of water-soluble HA and significantly promoted growth in peanuts by reducing iron deficiency symptoms. The results suggest a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for large-scale agriculture production.

Ammonium Sulfite Slurry from Ammonia-Based Desulfurization Activates Water-Soluble Humic Substances from Lignite: Performance, Application, and Mechanism

Shanshan Zhao, Denglun Chen, Yuanyuan Yao, Chenghao Liu, Bin Gao, Yan Liu, Jiahui Liu, Songyuan Wang, Ni Gao, Mingchuan Yang, Guifang Shi, Shugang Zhang, Jiazhuo Xie, Yuechao Yang

Summary: Water-soluble humic substances (WHSs) with high bioactivity and economic value can be produced by activating lignite using ammonium sulfite slurry (ASS). The yield of WHSs from activated lignite increased by 42.72% compared to unactivated lignite. The WHSs from activated lignite at lower concentrations had a more significant root-elongation-promoting effect.

A unified model for isothermal and non-isothermal phase transformation in hot stamping of 22MnB5 steel

Thawin Hart-Rawung, Johannes Buhl, Alexander Horn, Markus Bambach, Marion Merklein

Summary: The hot stamping technique in the automotive industry is used to generate varying mechanical properties by controlling the cooling rate locally. However, there is a need for a new phase transformation model that can accurately represent complicated thermal histories and deformation effects. This research proposes a 'unified JMAK' model capable of capturing different thermal-mechanical loading conditions, including non-linear cooling paths. The performance of the model is compared to other well-known transformation models and shows promising results.

T. A. Yarkova, A. M. Gyul'maliev

Summary: The thermodynamic stability of iron and magnesium ions at different acidity levels in aqueous medium was investigated using chemical thermodynamics methods and Pourbaix diagrams. The temperature dependence of the thermodynamic functions for the relevant reactions was calculated. The feasibility of replacing potassium and sodium ions with iron and magnesium ions in aqueous solutions of humic acid salts containing carboxyl and hydroxyl groups was demonstrated, leading to the formation of water-soluble iron and magnesium humates with high potential for practical applications.

Hydrothermal humification mechanism of typical agricultural waste biomass: a case study of corn straw

Xiongxin Peng, Shuang Gai, Kui Cheng, Fan Yang

Summary: The study conducted hydrothermal humification kinetics experiments using corn straw as raw material and employed characterization techniques such as ultra-performance liquid chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry to determine the formation mechanism of artificial humic substances (A-HS). The results showed that in an alkaline environment, rapid dissociation of lignocellulose can occur, with cellulose and hemicellulose being hydrolyzed into glucose and xylose, further dehydrated to form 5-hydroxy furfural and furfural, and then rehydrated to synthesize levulinic acid and other small molecular acids. These small precursors then combine with lignin fragments to form fulvic acids, humic acids, and even humin. The proposed mechanism of hydrothermal humification is of great significance for the design, synthesis, and application of A-HS in sustainable agriculture.
