摘要

Fulvic acid is a complex, heterogeneous mixture of organic substances formed by the profound alteration of organic materials in natural environments. The ubiquity of fulvic acid and its role in many geochemical processes has made it the subject of a substantial amount of fundamental and applied research. Despite this interest, fulvic acid's molecular weight (or more appropriately because it is a mixture, its molecular weight distribution) has never been unambiguously determined. Yet, it is often this fundamental, enigmatic characteristic that is specifically correlated to many of the environmental interactions of fulvic acid. Its molecular weight has been related to the ability of fulvic acid to complex trace metals and radionuclides and aid in their transport through or removal from an aquatic system, the extent to which it will bind to organic contaminants, its ability to interact with inorganic colloids and mineral surfaces, its tendency to form trihalomethanes during drinking water treatment, and its tendency to aggregate with other organic molecules. In fact, the one characteristic of fulvic acid that seems to be identified as an important variable in many aspects of its chemistry in natural systems is molecular weight. The purpose of this paper is to report the molecular weight distributions of a suite of well-characterized fulvic acids as determined by laser-desorption (LD) Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) and compare them to the molecular weight distributions obtained by gel filtration chromatography and vapor pressure osmometry. These results provide definitive proof that low molecular weight substances dominate the components of the mixture which comprise fulvic acid.
