Humic acids: Their detergent qualities and potential uses in pollution remediation
2000
Geochemical Transactions
Humic acids are amphiphilic species whose behavior in aqueous solution suggests that they form pseudomicellesÐaggregates akin to the micelles familiar from synthetic surfactant chemistry. It is thought that humic pseudomicelles can be formed by both intramolecular coiling and intermolecular association, depending on the molecular weight, structural characteristics, and polydispersity of the humic acid in question. The process does not feature a critical micelle concentration. Experimental
