Research shows lower alcohols enhance properties of ethoxylated humic acids, indicating improved extraction efficiency.

This research aims to understand how lower alcohols affect the extraction and properties of humic acid ethoxylation products.
Studied extraction of humic acids with methanol, ethanol, and n-propanol.
Characterized humic acids using IR and UV spectroscopy.
Evaluated properties through potentiometric titration, tensiometry, and dilatational rheology.
Lower alcohols improved extraction efficiency of native and ethoxylated hymatomelanic acids.
Ethoxylation products were identified in hymatomelanic acids following alcohol extraction.
Aqueous solutions of humic acid sodium salts showed significant surface-active properties.
