<p>A highly stable metal oxide oil slurry useful in reducing slag, facilitating removal of deposits from boiler tubes and reducing corrosion on the heating surfaces of boilers has been developed. Such a slurry consists essentially of about 50% by weight magnesium oxide or the entity of magnesium oxide and alumina oxide together with on oil-soluble emulsifier such as an alkanolamide or an alkanol with a carbon chain greater than a C3 alcohol, an oil-soluble dispersant such as a C12-C22 entity selected from an unsaturated or saturated fatty acid; e.g., oleic acid. Also as o constituent is an anionic surfactant such as magnesium lauryl sulfate in an oil base such as No. 2 fuel oil.</p> |
