Biofunctional Characteristics of Lignite Fly Ash Modified by Humates: A New Soil Conditioner
Fly ash superficially modified with humic substances from the Megalopolis lignitic power plant was prepared and evaluated for agricultural uses. UV-vis spectrophotometry and IR spectroscopy revealed that fly ash shows high sorption efficiency towards humic substances. Adsorption proceeds stepwise vi...
