Abstract
Variation of composition and properties of the water-soluble components of peat during mechanochemical treatment has been studied. Mechanochemical treatment affects the composition, quantitative content, and biological activity of the water-soluble components of peat. Mechanochemical treatment of high peat with celloviridine and alkali increases the yield of the water-soluble oxygen-containing compounds, including humic acids. The mineral composition of peat after processing practically did not change. The water-soluble components obtained by the mechanochemical method stimulate germination of seeds and development of wheat sprouts at the early stages of vegetation.
