Two coal-derived humic substances (Sulcis and South Africa, Eniricerche, Italy) have been evaluated for their mutagenic activity on TA98 and TA100 Salmonella typhimurium strains, either in presence or in absence of metabolic activation (S9). Both compounds showed no effect on the two strains, as observed with natural humic acid (Fluka). After chlorination, coal-derived humic acids induced a strong dose-related increase in the number of revertants on TA100 without S9, whose extent was directly proportional to the chlorination ratios. Such effect was completely suppressed when a sodium thiosulfate solution (10%) was added at the end of the chlorination period (about 90 h). The analogies with natural humic acid mutagenicity are discussed.

Present review focuses on the most recent advances in the NMR of the coal-derived humic and fulvic acids, covering exclusively the results of the liquid-phase NMR and leaving apart an overwhelming amount of publications dealing with the solid-state NMR investigations in this field (the latter are comprehensively reviewed elsewhere). Owing to the complexity of humic and fulvic acids together with other coal-derived products, their H and C NMR spectra consist of a number of overlapping signals belonging to different hydrocarbon types. Comprehensive studies of humic and fulvic acids by means of NMR revealed characteristic functional groups of their composition together with spectral regions in which they resonate.

Present review focuses on the most recent advances in a liquid-phase nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of the coal-derived products-coal tar pitches, asphaltenes, and humic and fulvic acids, covering exclusively the results in the liquid-phase NMR studies leaving apart an overwhelming amount of publications dealing with the solid-state NMR investigations in this field (which are comprehensively reviewed elsewhere). Owing to the complexity of the coal-derived products, their H and C NMR spectra consist of a number of overlapping signals belonging to different hydrocarbon types. Comprehensive studies of coal tar pitches, asphaltenes, and humic and fulvic acids by means of NMR over the past several decades revealed characteristic functional groups of those fractions together with spectral regions in which they resonate.

An investigation was carried out on humic substances (HSs) isolated from the coal of the Kansk-Achinsk basin (Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia). The coal HSs demonstrate the main parameters of molecular structure inherent to this class of natural compounds. An assessment was performed for the chemical, microbiological, and pharmacological safety parameters, as well as the biological efficacy.

Purpose: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a major public health concern with a high incidence worldwide. Coal-derived fulvic acids (FAs) contain functional groups in their chemical structures. Overexpression of cyclooxygenases-2 (COX-2), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and the PGE2 receptor EP4 subtype (EP4) can have a potential link with the increased tumor incidence and promoted tumor growth and metastasis in NSCLC.

Adsorption by activated carbons (AC) is an effective option for phenolic wastewater treatment. Three commercial AC, including coal-derived granular activated carbons (GAC), coal-derived powdered activated carbons (PAC), and coconut shell-derived powdered activated carbons (PAC), were utilized as adsorbent to study its viability and efficiency for phenol removal from wastewater. Pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and the Weber-Morris kinetic models were used to find out the kinetic parameters and mechanism of adsorption process.
