title: Application of Humate-Containing Agent for Sorbing Trace Metals in Simulated Solutions and Surface Waters from Tunnels at the ‘Degelen’ Site
abstract: This article presents the potential use of a humic agent called ‘Superhumate’, obtained from weathered coal from the Shubarkol deposit in Kazakhstan. The experiment was conducted using model solutions and surface mine water samples from the “Degelen” site at the Semipalatinsk Test Site. The adsorption of heavy metals and toxic elements using the “Superhumate” agent was carried out under dynamic conditions using a chromatographic column. Tests were conducted at a natural pH range of 5–8 (mine wat
