Many uses of humic acid

Humic acid is a kind of macromolecular organic substance widely existing in nature, and its use is very wide, especially in agriculture, industry, environmental protection and other fields.

1. Agricultural use

Fertilizer synergist:

Humic acid can be used as fertilizer synergist, combined with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements to make humic acid fertilizer, has the function of improving soil, improving fertilizer utilization rate, stimulating crop growth, improving the quality of agricultural products and so on.

Functional groups in humic acid can combine with metal ions to form stable chelates that help nutrients to be transported to crops.

Soil Amendments:

Humic acid can improve the physical properties of soil, such as air permeability, water retention, fertilizer retention, and promote the formation of soil aggregate structure.

It can also neutralize the soil pH, reduce the side effects of toxic factors, and improve the basic fertility level of the soil.

Plant growth regulators:

Humic acid can stimulate the root development of crops, improve the absorption capacity of roots, and promote the growth and development of crops.

It can also enhance the resistance of crops, such as drought resistance, cold resistance, disease resistance, etc., improve the yield and quality of crops.

Seed treatment agent:

Seed soaking with certain concentration of humic acid can germinate early and improve the emergence rate.

2. Industrial use

Drilling mud treatment agent:

Humic acid can be used as a stabilizer of drilling mud, improve mud viscosity and shear force, and prevent wall collapse.

Ceramic additives:

In the production of ceramics, humic acid can be used as an additive to improve the strength and hardness of ceramics.

Rubber reinforcing agent:

Humic acid can be used as a reinforcing agent of rubber to improve the tensile strength and wear resistance of rubber.

Ink thickener:

In the production of ink, humic acid can be used as a thickening agent to improve the viscosity and stability of ink.

3. Environmental protection

Wastewater treatment:

Humic acid can be used as flocculant in wastewater treatment to effectively remove pollutants such as suspended matter, organic matter and heavy metal ions in wastewater.

Soil remediation:

Humic acid can be used in soil remediation to reduce the concentration of pollutants in soil and improve soil environmental quality through adsorption, chelation and transformation.

Ecological governance:

Humic acid also plays a significant role in preventing and controlling desertification and improving saline-alkali land, which helps to restore and improve the ecological environment.

4. Other uses

Medicine and health products: humic acid is also used in the field of medicine and health products, such as as an auxiliary material for drugs, additives for health products, etc.

Cosmetics: Humic acid also has certain antioxidant and moisturizing properties, and is also used in cosmetics.

Humic acid has a wide range of uses and application prospects. In the field of agriculture, it can be used as fertilizer synergist, soil conditioner and plant growth regulator. In the industrial field, it can be used as drilling mud treatment agent, ceramic additive, rubber reinforcing agent, etc. In the field of environmental protection, it can be used for wastewater treatment, soil remediation and ecological governance. In addition, it also has certain applications in the fields of medicine and health care products and cosmetics.
