Humic acids from coals of the North-Bohemian coal field I. Preparation and characterisation

摘要

Humic acids were prepared from young North-Bohemian brown coals using alkaline extraction, sedimentation/filtration and acidic precipitation; membrane separations were applied to refine some preparatives. Samples were characterised by chemical analyses, molecular mass ditribution, E4/E6 coefficient, IR spectra, ~13C-NMR spectra and EPR spectra. The properties of the coal-derived humic acids were compared with the properties of humic acids prepared from chernozem and peat and with the properties of a commercially available humic acid form Fluka.
