In the present work, the effect of rice husk silica (RHS) on the performance of polysulfone (PSf) blended with polyethylene glycol (PEG) membranes were investigated. The hybrid ultrafiltration membranes were prepared by phase inversion technique. The membrane performance was analyzed by using pure water flux, humic acid for the rejection test and followed by the membrane characterization. Results showed that PEG increased membrane pure water flux to 621.212 LMH and rejection humic acid at and 98%. The analysis of SEM revealed that PEG obviously changed the microstructure of the membrane especially at the top and sub layer.

The effects of different zinc oxide concentration on morphology, contact angle, surface roughness and rejection towards humic acid in polysulfone membrane were investigated. Flatsheet ultrafiltration membrane were prepared by using polysulfone as based polymer, polyethylene glycol as  pore forming agent, zinc oxide as manipulated additive and TAP as compatibilizer. In this study, N, methyl-2-pyrrolidone were used as solvent and water as non solvent. The membrane were prepared via phase inversion method. Results showed that pure water flux was enhanced by the presence of zinc oxide up to 1 wt% and tend to decrease beyond this concentration. The increased pure water flux was attributed to the increase in hydrophilicity and  surface roughness of membrane according to contact angle and AFM measurement. The rejection test with humic acid as solute revealed that by increasing zinc oxide concentration, rejection increases up to 98% at 2 wt% of zinc oxide. Therefore polysulfone/zinc oxide in this study can provide potential application for river water treatment which consist high humic acid concentration.

The Hot Water Percolation (HWP) technique for preparing soil extracts has several advantages: it is easily carried out, fast, and several parameters can be measured from the same solution. The object of this study was to examine the possible use of HWP extracts for the characterization of soil organic matter. The HPLC-SEC chromatograms, UV-VIS and fluorescence properties of the HWP extracts were studied and the results were compared with those of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) Soil Humic Acid (HA), IHSS Soil Fulvic Acid (FA) and IHSS Suwannee Natural Organic Matter (NOM) standards as well as their HA counterparts isolated by traditional extraction methods from the original soil samples. The DOM of the HWP solution is probably a mixture of organic materials, which have some characteristics similar to the Soil FA fractions and NOM. The HWP extracted organic material can be studied and characterized using simple techniques, like UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy.

The aim of this study is to determine the Cu(II) complexing capacity and stability constants of Cu(II) complexes of humic acids isolated from two well-characterized raised bog peat profiles in respect to the basic properties and humification characteristics of the studied peats and their humic acids. The complex stability constants significantly change within the studied bog profiles and are well correlated with the age and decomposition degree of the peat layer from which the humic acids have been isolated. Among factors that influence this complexation process, molecular mass and ability to form micellar structures (supramolecules) of humic substances are of key importance.
