<p>Coal-aqueous slurries having improved shear stability and lower viscosity are described. The use of a plurality of surfactants each having hydrophilic portions with each surfactant hydrophilic portion having a different molecular weight are utilized in sufficient amounts to wet and disperse particulate coal and water. When two surfactants are utilized, coal-aqueous mixtures may be formulated having up to or over 70% by weight coal when the first surfactant has a hydrophilic portion comprising a relatively large number of ethylene oxide units and the second surfactant has hydrophilic portion comprising a relatively small number of ethylene oxide units.</p> |
