| abstract |
Combustible fuel slurries are prepared by admixing solid particulate carbonaceous material, liquid hydrocarbon fuel such as gasoline, fuel oil, and the like, and a particulate cross-linked organic liquid-swellable, organic liquid-insoluble polymer composed of at least 50 mole percent of at least one alkylstyrene. Such slurries are mobile and readily processable in conventional fuel oil transporting, storage, and burning equipment. |
