Humic substances (HS) are important product during composting, which play a key role in the maturity of compost, and its electron transfer characteristics have significant applications in the reduction of pollutants. We focus on the structure and composition characteristics and formation mechanism of HS during the composting. The effects of composting raw materials, additives, microorganisms and oxygen supply conditions on the formation of HS were reviewed. The electron transfer mechanism of compost HS was summarized as well as the structural and environmental factors affect the electron transfer of HS. The applications of HS in soil pollution control and water treatment are introduced. The research directions of HS formation mechanism, electron transfer mechanism and its application are also prospected.

AbstractThe mechanism and kinetics of the electro-catalytic oxidation of hydrazine by graphene oxide platelets randomly decorated with palladium nanoparticles are deduced using single particle impact electrochemical measurements in buffered aqueous solutions across the pH range 2–11. Both hydrazine, N2H4, and protonated hydrazine N2H5+ are shown to be electroactive following Butler-Volmer kinetics, of which the relative contribution is strongly pH-dependent. The negligible interconversion between N2H4 and N2H5+ due to the sufficiently short timescale of the impact voltammetry, allows the analysis of the two electron transfer rates from impact signals thus reflecting the composition of the bulk solution at the pH in question. In this way the rate determining step in the oxidation of each specie is deduced to be a one electron step in which no protons are released and so likely corresponds to the initial formation of a very short-lived radical cation either in solution or adsorbed on the platelet. Overall the work establishes a generic method for the elucidation of the rate determining electron transfer in a multistep process free from any complexity imposed by preceding or following chemical reactions which occur on the timescale of conventional voltammetry.
