In this study, artificial humic acid (AHA) was produced from rice straw at room temperature. The response surface methodology was used to investigate the response of artificial humic acid to time, liquid-solid ratio, and KOH concentration. The optimal reaction conditions were determined: reaction time of 2 h, liquid-solid ratio of 6, and KOH concentration of 1.5 mol/L. The artificial humic acid content under these conditions was 32.29 g/L, which satisfied the Chinese agricultural industry standard for water-soluble humic acid fertilizers (humic acid content ≥30 g/L). Compared with chemical fertilizers, artificial humic acid fertilizer promoted chard growth and increased soil organic matter and humic acid. The stability of artificial humic acid was better, with a retention rate of 60.47 % in the soil. Water-soluble humic acid fertilizer also promoted chard growth by increasing the relative abundance of growth-promoting bacteria such as Glutamicibacter and Pseudomonas and, as well as growth-promoting fungi such as Mortierella. The application of water-soluble humic acid fertilizers has implications for both soil improvement and the reduction of agricultural carbon emissions.

Bidirectional electron transfer biofilms (BETB) could efficiently reduce nitrate without accumulating nitrite, representing a promising biological electrochemical denitrification technology. This study utilized iron phthalocyanine modified carbon felt (FePc-CF) to enrich electroactive bacteria, constructing a long-term stable FePc-BETB. Its nitrate removal rate reached 91%, far exceeding the traditional nitrate-reducing biocathode (45%) and Con-BETB (46%).

Humic-like substances (HULIS) widely exist in the atmosphere and may strongly affect human health, environment, and climate. However, there are still no accurate methods for detecting the vertical distribution of HULIS. Here, a Raman-Polarization-Fluorescence Spectroscopic Lidar (RPFSL) was developed to simultaneously measure 64-channel broad fluorescence spectra (370-710 nm) of atmospheric aerosols at an excitation wavelength of 355 nm.

Humic acid-bound Pb (HA-Pb), as one of the representative solid-associated Pb species, plays important roles in Pb mobility and toxicity in aqueous environments. Stable Pb-phosphate minerals formation mediated by phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is a promising approach to immobilizing Pb in contaminated waters. However, the underlying processes and kinetics of Pb-phosphate biomineralization from labile HA-Pb species remain unclear.

Changing the form of the electric field in the electric field-assisted aerobic composting (EAC) system from direct current to alternating current is confirmed as a potential strategy to enhance compost humification to the level of hyperthermophilic composting. This study pioneered the comparative evaluation of the effects of different electric field forms on the immobilization and phytotoxicity of heavy metals during composting. The results demonstrated that the humic acid content and humification index of alternating electric field-assisted aerobic composting (AEFAC) were approximately 22.
