Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting coal oxidation in a coal pile which includes coating all the surfaces of coal exposed to air with an oxidation inhibiting amount of a composition comprising (a) a water soluble cationic polymer and (b) a wetting agent selected from an anionic or nonionic surfactant, or mixtures thereof.
Methods For Dewatering Coal And Mineral Concentrates
A method and composition for dewatering coal and mineral slurries by centrifugation or filtration wherein a dewatering aid in combination with a clay dispersant is added to the slurry prior to centrifugation. The dewatering aid is preferably an alkylphenolethoxylate surfactant and the clay dispersant is preferably sodium hexametaphosphate. The combination aids in dewatering and also reduces the ash content of coal treated with the combination.

Abstract:
A cleaning composition and method of use are disclosed. The composition comprises a mixture of a ketone, at least one glycol ether, water and optionally a surfactant. The composition when applied to substrates coated with resinous coatings is effective for removing the coating from the substrate.
Method For Dewatering Municipal Solid Waste Refuse
A method for dewatering the refuse ash generated by a municipal solid waste facility by adding to the ash a copolymer and a nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of primary alcohol ethoxylates, secondary alcohol ethoxylates and alkyl phenol ethoxylates. The copolymer consists of repeat units of an ethylenically unsaturated compound and an acrylamido alkane sulfonic acid compound.
Method For Improving Corn Oil Extraction Using Alkyl Polyglycosides
Methods are provided for recovering oil from a process stream mixture in a corn to ethanol process. The method comprises adding an oil separation aid to the process stream wherein the oil separation aid is an alkyl polyglycoside (APG).
