ELECTRONIC PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE OF HUMIC AND HYMATOMELANIC ACIDS IN SAPROELS OF THE LAKE OF THE MIDDLE OB RIVER

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study of the paramagnetic activity of humic and hymatomelanic acids extracted from sapropels of ten small lakes on the right bank of the Ob River and ten small lakes on the left bank of the Ob River (Western Siberia). Quantitative studies were carried out by two methods: the ABS spins method and the method using a double resonator with respect to TEMPO. A comparison of the two methods is presented. The values ​​of the concentration of paramagnetic cents per gram of humic and hymatomelanic acids, as well as the molecular weights of the conditional paramagnetic molecules of humic and hymatomelanic acids were calculated. Based on the results obtained, a conclusion was made about the greater paramagnetic activity of humic acids relative to hymatomelanic acids. Differences in the paramagnetic activity of humic acids and hymatomelanic acids have been established. Three samples from lakes on the right bank of the Ob River and one sample from a lake on the left bank of the Ob River have the greatest differences in paramagnetic activity between HAs and their corresponding HMCs. The concentration of paramagnetic centers in the HAs of these samples is six times higher than in the corresponding MMCs. The contribution of the conjugated aromatic component to the structure of the macromolecules of these HAs is the greatest.
