Abstract
Abstract Fuel composition comprises (a) 15 to 60% be weight, preferably 40 to 55%, of a friable solid fuel, e.g. coal, (b) a stabilizing additive composition and (c) a fuel oil. The additive comprises the combination of a polymer containing functional groups, e.g., maleinized polybutadiene, and a surfactant. The composition is suitable for use as a liquid fuel for industrial burners.
