Abstract

The ability to produce humic-like polymeric compounds, with L-tyrosine as the starting material, was evaluated using different mineral systems, e.g. on Ca-, A1- and Cu(II)-saturated montmorillonite, nontronite and kaolinite, and on quartz. Clay minerals proved to be effective in the formation of these compounds, but not quartz, except in the presence of Cu(II). The newly formed compounds were fractionated by alkaline extraction. With clay systems, the amounts of substances produced appear to be related more to the interlayer cation than to the clay type. Copper cations appear to be more effective when not associated with the clay structure.
