title: Cloud-point preconcentration of fulvic and humic acids.
abstract: The cloud-point extraction technique was used for preconcentration of fulvic and humic acids. The effect of the acidity of solution, the equilibration temperature and time, the amount of added surfactant (Triton X-100) and the time of centrifugation on the recovery were examined. The recoveries of fulvic and humic acids achieved under optimised conditions were 82% and 96%, respectively.
