A method of removing ash components from coals, particularly high-ash bituminous and sub-bituminous coals, comprises grinding the coals and suspending the ground coal in an aqueous media to form a raw suspension, fusing the raw suspension and without further additives stirring for 60 to 360 minutes at from 250 to 350/sup 0/C and at a pressure of from 50 to 80 atm.
