This research aims to investigate the optical properties of humic substances and their relation to molecular structure.
Analyzed absorption and fluorescence emission spectra for lignin and humic substances.
Compared spectral parameters with average size and total lignin phenol content.
Identified correlations between optical properties and structural components.
Strong correlation between total lignin phenol content and absorption at 280 and 355 nm for humic samples.
Similar spectral dependencies across samples suggest a common structural basis.
Increased average size correlates with decreased fluorescence quantum yield and mean lifetimes, indicating significant intramolecular interactions.
