Title: Carbon black slurries preparation and characteristics

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:720379

This report describes the preparation procedures and characteristics of slurries of carbon black with water, methanol and oil. The physical, thermal and rheological properties of the slurries are presented. The methods of measurements and analysis of the slurries are described. The slurries of greater than 50% carbon appear to be stable and particularly useful environmentally and economically as fuel for stationary electrical power and steam generating plants. The carbon black slurries can also be useful in heavy automotive engines, e.g., turbines and diesels. Carbon black slurries are potentially an improved alternative to petroleum based fuels. 3 refs., 17 figs., 16 tabs.
