A NOVEL CARBONACEOUS COMPACT, A SLURRY CONTAINING SAID COMPACT, AND A PROCESS FOR MAKING SAID SLURRY

摘要

A grinding mixture with a pH of from 5-12 which contains about 60-82 volume percent of one or more carbonaceous materials, about 18-40 volume percent of one or more carrier liquids, and from about 0.01-4.0 weight percent of one or more dispersing agents. The mixture is comprised of at least two consists of carbonaceous material, one of which contains particles smaller than 53 microns. There is also disclosed a process for preparing a carbonaceous slurry comprising the steps of grinding the aforementioned grinding mixture until it contains a consist whose particles are in substantial accordance with a specified particle size distribution. The slurry produced by this process, and the compact in the slurry, also are described.
