Sterilisation of soil without affecting the humic components
TLDR
In this article, the Arnold method was used to sterilize soil without affecting the nature and quantity of humic components in it, and the results revealed that this method of sterilisation does not affect the humic component present in the soil.Abstract:
In order to overcome the difficulty in sterilising soils without affecting the nature and quantity of humic components in it, the Arnold method of sterilisation has been tried. Humic substances from the sterilised soil samples were compared with their corresponding counterparts from the non-sterilised samples. The data reveal that this method of sterilisation does not affect the humic components present in the soil.read more

Sorption of chlorophenols in the soil
TL;DR: In this paper, a Freundlich model for chlorophenols at infinite dilution was proposed, which is valid for all investigated soils, including the synthetic "soils", and the increase of non-extractable fractions chlorophenol was described with a square root of time relation.

Studies on decomposition of humus in clay-humus complexes
TL;DR: In this article, it has been observed that smaller and more flexible humic molecules are less susceptible to the said decomposition as compared to larger and more rigid structures, and that such decomposition decreases at higher clay concentrations.
