Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a method of filtering pollutants from a contaminated fluid stream. The method includes disposing unprepared humic shale in a container, contacting the unprepared humic shale with an aqueous solution, maintaining the aqueous composition in contact with the unprepared humic shale for a period of time, drying the humic shale, and then placing polluted water in contact with the humic shale until pollutants have been removed from the fluid.

Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to methods for producing natural extracts utilizing fulvic acid solutions as well as the extracts produced utilizing the disclosed methods. The method provides for selecting natural material(s) for extraction and contacting the natural material with a fulvic acid solution. In some embodiments the contacting can occur by pouring, dripping, sprinkling, submersing, or substantially submersing the natural material with the fulvic acid solution.
