    Abstract

    A commercially available humic acid (HA) was chlorinated by chloride ions in the presence of the enzyme chloroperoxidase and hydrogen peroxide. The resulting chlorinated HA showed a uniform distribution of chlorine independent of the single molecular weight fractions. The chlorination of HA has been studied as a function of enzyme-, hydrogen peroxide-, and chloride concentrations. The elimination of free chloride/low molecular weight chloroorganics upon dissolution of isolated chlorinated HA is discussed.
