Abstract: A storage stable aqueous pulverized-coal dispersion can be pumped and can be burned by conventional techniques. The dispersion comprises stabilizing additives and a coal content which ranges from 60 to 80% by weight. The additives include a combination of (a) sufficient lecithin adsorbed on surfaces of coal particles to provide repulsion between the coal particles by hydration forces and (b) polymer cooperating with the lecithin and comprising at least one polymer having segments of hydrophobic as well as segments of hydrophilic character.
Abstract: A method for atomizing dispersions or solutions containing particles wherein the dispersion or solution is discharged from a nozzle. Before it leaves the nozzle it is brought to form a rotating annular film which is exposed to the influence of high-frequency sound for the disintegration of the liquid.
