Abstract: A dispersant for coal into oils which comprises a metal salt of a dialkyl sulfosuccinate and a lower aliphatic alcohol and a coal-oil mixed fuel containing the dispersant. The coal-oil mixed fuel containing the dispersant is provided with excellent stability and fluidity for a long period of time by virtue of a high dispersing effect of the dispersant.
Abstract: Dry process for the production of inorganic granular substances coated with plastics, characterized in that a radical-polymerizable vinylic monomer carried on the surface of an inorganic granular substance is brought in a gaseous phase into contact with gaseous sulfur dioxide to effect polymerization of the monomer. The resulting plastic-coated inorganic substances are useful in various fields of industry, for example, as fillers, construction materials, molding materials, electrode materials, delayed-action fertilizers, etc.
Abstract: A transition metal compound in powdered form or a mixture of a transition metal compound and other inorganic compounds in powdered form can be effectively coated with a polymer by contacting such powder with a vinyl monomer in the presence of hydrogen sulfite ions (HSO.sub.3 .sup.-).
Abstract: Metal powder is suspended in an aqueous medium containing a radical-polymerizable monomer and polymerization is conducted in the presence of an acidic sulfite ion to produce a plastic coated metal powder which is effectively used for forming conductive plastics, molded articles for sintering, pressed powder magnetic cores and the like.
