WHAT DOES HUMIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Humic acid

Humic acid is a principal component of humic substances, which are the major organic constituents of soil, peat, coal, many upland streams, dystrophic lakes, and ocean water. It is produced by biodegradation of dead organic matter. It is not a single acid; rather, it is a complex mixture of many different acids containing carboxyl and phenolate groups so that the mixture behaves functionally as a dibasic acid or, occasionally, as a tribasic acid. Humic acids can form complexes with ions that are commonly found in the environment creating humic colloids. Humic and fulvic acids are commonly used as a soil supplement in agriculture, and less commonly as a human nutritional supplement. As a nutrition supplement, fulvic acid can be found in a liquid form as a component of mineral colloids. Fulvic acids are poly-electrolytes and are unique colloids that diffuse easily through membranes whereas all other colloids do not. "Synthesis of fulvic acid was accomplished by a route involving selective ozonization of 9-propenylpyranobenzopyran, obtained by a regioselective cyclization of the 2-methylsulphinylmethyl 1,3-dione."...
