The humic substances (HS) are considered to be one of the most complex and diverse natural organic compounds in terms of structure and composition. HS contain aromatic skeleton, highly substituted with various functional groups. It is believed that their presence determines the ability of HS to form stable complexes, compounds and soluble composites with metal ions or their compounds. In addition, these functional groups can themselves be involved in the interaction of HS with dissolved metal compounds. In this work we studied the reaction products of HS concentrated solutions with metallic iron.
