FUEL COMPRISING AN EMULSION BETWEEN WATER AND A LIQUID HYDROCARBON

摘要

Fuel comprising an emulsion between water and a liquid hydrocarbon, said emulsion being stabilized by adding a polymeric surfactant obtainable by reaction between: (i) a polyolefin oligom er functionalized with at least one group deriving from a dicarboxylic acid, or a derivative thereof; and (ii) a polyoxyalkylene comprising linear oxyalkylene units, said polyoxyalkylene being linked to a long-chain alkyl group optionally containing one or more ethylenic unsaturations. The fuel has high stability over time, without forming carbonaceous deposits which adhere to metal surfaces.
