Humic acids are the main constituent of brown coals and can be regarded as a model substance representing the organic matter of coals of low degree of coalification. Humic acids can be obtained with a much lower mineral matter content than that in the parent coals. They seem to be a suitable material for fundamental study on pyrolysis and gasification of coals of low rank. It is troublesome to obtain humic acids in a state of high purity. This research was carried out to evaluate the influence of the degree of demineralization of brown coal humic acids on their behavior in the processes of carbonization and steam gasification, with particular attention to the development of their capillary structure.
