M. Kaemmerer et al., The complexation of calcium by HS extracted from TT could then enhancing the efficience of the phosphatic nutrition plants., AGROCHIMICA, 43(1), 2000, pp. 38-45
The study of the complexation of calcium by humic substances extracted from
a natural peat (TN) and from a peat treated with nitrogen oxides (TT) was
followed by conductimetry and potentiometry with pH variable and pH constan
t.
The complexing capacity increases as the pH rises: complexed calcium is 130
cmol.kg(-1) S.H. (TN) and 135 cmol.kg(-1) S.H (TT) with pH 5, and 330 cmol
.kg(-1) S.H (TN) and 410 cmol.kg(-1) S.H (TT) with pH 9. These reactions in
volve various functional groupings of pKa1 < 4 for TN and TT, pKa2 = 5,9 po
ur TN and pKa2 = 6,2 for TT; in all cases, the medium has exhibited an incr
ease in acidity.
The complexation of calcium by HS extracted from TT could then enhancing th
e efficience of the phosphatic nutrition plants.
