Abstract

Process for preparing regenerated humic acids from coal by means of the continuous oxidation on fluidized bed, characterized in that a coal of lignite, sub-bituminous or bituminous type is submitted to a preliminary oxidation under mild conditions in order to reduce the hydrogen content of said coal by an amount of 5 to 25% of hydrogen initially present in the starting coal, and that the resulting coal is subsequently submitted to an oxidation in order to produce the desired humic acids.
