Abstract: A reagent mixture comprising a hydrocarbon emulsion and an adhesion promoter which is used to agglomerate carbonaceous material particles from coal slurries of settling ponds or coal processing plants. The reagent mixture inhibits or avoids co-agglomeration of noncombustible impurities such as clay present in the slurries. The reagent mixture is provided as at least one of a slurry, a suspension, an emulsion and a solution which is contacted with the coal slurry.

Abstract: A process for preparing a modified asphalt binder composition, the process comprising mixing asphalt, an unsaturated polymer, and phosphorus pentasulfide to form a modified asphalt composition.

Abstract: A water-proofing composition which includes an emulsified asphalt component plus a latex blend with calcium chloride as a breaking solution. The water-proofing composition becomes tack-free quickly after application and can be applied to asphalt, concrete, brick, stone, wood, metal, wood, various primed metals and other substrates surfaces. The water-proofing composition is applied to a desired substrate surface by a co-depositing the emulsified asphalt component plus a latex blend with calcium chloride separately so that they mix together during the application process.
