Almendros, G., Martín, F. and González-Vila, F.J., 1987. Depolymerization and degradation of humic acids with sodium perborate. Geoderma, 39: 235-247. Two humic acids of different origin (peat and soil) were degraded with a 5 % sodium perborate solution (140 OC). This degradation process consists mainly of a stoichiometric production of hydrogen peroxide while the perborate is reacting with car...
