Abstract
Emulsion compositions containing substantial amounts of gilsonite consist essentially of a gilsonite phase consisting of a mixture of between about 33 and about 95% gilsonite, and a petroleum hydrocarbon having a boiling point above about 200.degree. F., and a water phase consisting essentially of water and a small amount of emulsifying agent. The emulsifying agent may include a surface active clay.
Claims11
An emulsion composition consisting essentially of
- (a) a gilsonite phase consisting of a mixture of between about 33 and about 95% gilsonite, and a petroleum hydrocarbon having a boiling point above about 200.degree. F., and
- (b) a water phase consisting essentially of water and between about 0.05 and about 10% of an emulsifying agent, and wherein the gilsonite:water phase ratio is between about 1:2 and 3:1, respectively.
