Gravimetric Quantification of Hydrophobic Fulvic Acids in Lignite Material Using Acetone.

This study evaluated the gravimetric quantification of fulvic components in lignite material. The current standard method considered only components soluble in both alkali and acid solutions and adsorpted to a hydrophobic resin (DAX-8) at pH 1, identified as hydrophobic fulvic acids (HFA). HFA were desorpted using 0.
