Ir-spectroscopic study of humate magnesium and silver peloids

The paper considers the possibility of infrared spectroscopy to study the mechanism of interaction of humic acids peloids with metal cations. Were assigned bandwidths of the infrared spectra of humates magnesium and silver. Based on the experimental data determine the mechanism of interaction of metals with humic acids. The interrelation between the cation and the nature of its binding with functional groups of the biopolymer. The interaction of silver ions with humic acids has adsorption character. Mag-nesium ions predominantly react with carboxyl groups to form salt-like clusters.
