Transport of Organic Dyes in Systems Containing Humic Acids
Abstract
This work is focused on transport organic dyes in systems containing humic acids as active reaction agent. Methylene blue was used
as a model organic dye which can behave as pollutant and influence many processes in nature. Transport of pollutants in nature is
strongly affected by interactions with humic acids or natural organic matter. Their influence is dependent on affinity of pollutant to
content and strength of active binding sites. Two different humic samples are used in this study in order to compare their properties
on transport of organic dye. Both humic acids are used in original extracted form as well as in the form of samples with selective
blocked functional groups.
