INVESTIGATION OF HUMIC AND FULVIC ACIDS OF MUMIYO ACCORDING TO IR SPECTROSCOPY DATA

TZAVYO

Abstract

To date, one of the rapidly developing areas of modern chemistry is the analysis of the products of vital activity and decay of living organisms - humic substances, the development of technology and the selection of optimal modes for their isolation. In addition, there is a great need for effective, environmentally friendly preparations, such as mumiyo-based preparations due to their main active ingredients - humic and fulvic acids. It is on their quantity that the beneficial properties of the mumiyo itself depend. Therefore, the development of methods for extracting humic and fulvic acids from mumiyo, the study of their properties and practical application is an important area of scientific research. The purpose of our work is the extraction of humic and fulvic acids from mumiyo, the study of the obtained samples by IR spectroscopy. Using a technique based on the gravimetric determination of the content of humic acids extracted from the product with an alkaline solution, the mass fractions of humic acids in two analyzed samples of mumiyo were determined: Mongolian (sample 1) and Altai (sample 2) production, which amounted to (9,4 ± 0,2) % and (5,7 ± 0,1) %, respectively. A technique for extracting fulvic acids from a fraction after precipitation of humic acids is proposed. With the help of IR spectroscopy, the qualitative content of humic and fulvic acids in the mumiyowas confirmed.
