For centuries, humic acids (HA) were thought to be composed of much larger molecules than those found in fulvic acids (FA). However, the application of Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), which separates molecules on the basis of molecular weight, demonstrates that the molecular weights of the two fractions both fall in the range of 200–800 Daltons (Da), with most of the molecules having molecular weights in the range of 200–400 Da (Figure 1). To give context, carbon (C) weighs 12 Da, oxygen (O) weighs 16 Da, and hydrogen (H) weighs 1 Da. Thus, phenol molecules (an aromatic organic compound, also called carbolic acid), which have 6 C, 1 O, and 11 H atoms, weigh 99 Da.
What really separates HA from FA is the lower amount of oxygen present in HA molecules (on average, 36%–40% oxygen) compared with FA molecules (on average, 48%–52% oxygen), depending on the source. In humic substances, oxygen is primarily present in the form of carboxylic acids (i.e., COOH), phenols (i.e., Ar-OH; “Ar” stands for aromatic), alcohols, and carbonyl groups (i.e., C=O). These oxygen-containing functional groups possess two important functions that greatly affect the chemical behavior of HS. These are: (1) the ability to form hydrogen bonds (for example, with H2O), which enhances their solubility, and (2) for COOH and Ar-OH the possession of negative charges when H+ is lost from the OH groups of COOH and Ar-OH. This second function is what makes HS acidic. Depending on their location on a molecule, COOH groups can lose an H+ and the O of the OH becomes negatively charged as the pH is raised from pH 1–4. The phenolic OH groups can lose an H+ and the O becomes negatively charged as pH is raised from pH 7–9.
