Effect of Adsorption of Metal Elements Ni and V on the Structure of Humin by Yin YU, Peng XIA, Yi ZHONG, Shitan NING, Ke WANG, Jianping CHENG

“…The dried samples (numbered as HM-Ni and HM-V) and the original humin sample (numbered HM) are analyzed by element analyzer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance carbon spectroscopy (13C-NMR).RESULTSThe results show that the elemental composition of humin is mainly C and O. After the action of Ni and V metal solutions, the relative contents of O and S elements in humin decrease, and the relative contents of C and N elements increase. …”
