Abstract
Improved methods for the separation and isolation of bioactive polyelectrolytes, such as humic acid, fulvic acid, ulmic acid, and humin, from any one or a combination of naturally occurring or synthetically produced humified organic matter (HOM) are described. The methods involve the application of an electromagnetic field to an aqueous slurry of the HOM to thereby separate one or more bioactive polyelectrolyte fractions from the remaining of the HOM. Related systems and isolated bioactive polyelectrolyte fractions are also described.
Claims21
A method of isolating a bioactive polyelectrolyte (BP) fraction from a humified organic material (HOM), the method comprising:
- providing an aqueous slurry comprising the HOM;
- applying an electromagnetic field to the aqueous slurry to obtain an electromagnetic field treated HOM;
- and
- isolating the BP fraction from the electromagnetic field treated HOM.
A system for separating a bioactive polyelectrolyte (BP) from a humified organic material (HOM), comprising an electromagnetic cell and an aqueous slurry comprising the HOM placed within the electromagnetic cell, wherein the electromagnetic cell is capable of providing an electromagnetic field to the aqueous slurry to thereby separate the BP from the HOM.
An isolated bioactive polyelectrolyte (BP) fraction, comprising an isolated fulvic acid fraction, an isolated humic acid fraction, or a mixture thereof, wherein the isolated fulvic acid fraction consists essentially of ionic nanocrystalline fulvic acid molecules, and the isolated humic acid fraction consists essentially of colloidal humic acid particles having an average particle size of about 1 to 10 microns in diameter.
An isolated bioactive polyelectrolyte (BP) fraction produced by a method comprising:
- providing an aqueous slurry comprising a humified organic material (HOM);
- applying an electromagnetic field to the aqueous slurry to obtain an electromagnetic field treated HOM;
- and
- isolating the BP fraction from the electromagnetic field treated HOM.
