Processes for stabilizing toluenediamine residues are disclosed. These processes include adding a low viscosity, low boiling liquid to a toluenediamine residue composition to form a blend, and optionally, continuously monitoring the viscosity of the blend during addition of the low viscosity, low boiling liquid. The low viscosity, low boiling liquid may be added at 5% to 30% by weight based on the total weight of the blend. Further, the low viscosity, low boiling liquid may be added so that the blend has a viscosity of 10,000 cP or less throughout the temperature range of 40° C. to 95° C. Blends of toluenediamine residue compositions and low viscosity, low boiling liquids such as water, and methods of their use as a fuel are also disclosed. |
