Abstract
The chemical nature of substances formed in aqueous alkaline media in the course of cavitation impact on peat containing no humic acids is considered. Using chemical and physicochemical investigation methods there have been established the nature of humic substances formed. It is proved that the effect of mechanochemical aqueous alkaline medium exerted on humate–carbohydrate complex can result in the formation of humic acids from other components of peat.
