Abstract

A process is disclosed for the production of humic acids, which comprises an oxidation of coal in dry phase with oxygen or mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen in a fluidized-bed reactor, by using coal with a granulometry comprised within the range of from 100 .mu.m to 3 mm and operating at a temperature comprised within the range of from 150.degree. to 300.degree. C., under a partial pressure of oxygen comprised within the range of from 1.1 abs.atm. to 10 abs.atm., for a contact time comprised within the range of from 30 minutes to 600 minutes.
