Abstract
Systems and methods for producing an organic fertilizer rich in humic substances and nitrogen from waste gases and liquids are disclosed. The methods include forming a mixture of coal and liquid and contacting said mixture with a gas containing ammonia, allowing ammonia react with the coal to release humic substances to the liquid and to complex ammonia with the coal and humic substances controlling the pH of the mixture and forming a humic ammonia rich fertilizer. The systems include a mixing chamber fluidly connected to sources of liquid and coal, a gas contacting chamber, a pH control subsystem, a solid liquid separator and a pathogen deactivator.

-20. (canceled)
A method of making an organic fertilizer rich in humics and ammonia comprising the steps:
- a) forming a coal-liquid stream by adding a coal such as but not limited to leonardite to a liquid, and
- b) contacting a gas stream containing ammonia with said coal-liquid stream, and
- c) absorbing ammonia into said coal-liquid stream, and
- d) allowing absorbed ammonia in the coal-liquid stream to react with the coal to form a coal-ammonia rich liquid, and
- e) collecting the coal-ammonia rich liquid as a fertilizer product.
A method of making an organic fertilizer rich in humics and nitrogenous compounds comprising the steps:
- a) forming a coal-liquid stream by adding a coal such as but not limited to leonardite to a high nitrogenous liquid such as but not limited to urine, or ammonia distillate or aqua ammonia, and
- b) allowing the nitrogenous compounds in the coal-liquid stream to react to form a coal-ammonia rich fertilizer, and
- c) collecting the coal-ammonia rich fertilizer as a product.
An apparatus for making an organic fertilizer rich in humics and ammonia comprising:
- a source of coal, and
- a source or liquid, and
- a chamber, such as but not limited to a pipe or a tank, fluidly connected to the source of liquid and the source of coal and where the liquid and the coal are mixed together to form a coal-liquid stream, and
- means for controlling pH of the coal-liquid stream, and
- a conduct such as but not limited to a pipe or an auger to remove the coal-liquid after mixing for a period of time in the chamber.
