The elemental and fractional composition of humic substances in sediments of lakes of the taiga zone of the Tyumen region

Abstract

This work is devoted to definition of fractional and element structure and type of the humic substances emitted from 9 exemplars of ground deposits of lakes of a taiga zone of the Tyumen region. The fractionating of humic substances was carried out by a pyrophosphate method. Elemental analysis method used for the determination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Calculated atomic ratio H:C, O:C and C:N. The predominant type of humus in the sediments is humate and fulvate-humate, which indicates that the flow of the process of organic matter humification sediments predominantly in comparison with mineralization.
