Abstract: An adjuvant for hydrocarbon fuels is provided comprising a calcium based montmorillonite clay, a phosphate, and a source of boron oxide. A preferred formulation comprises 85 weight percent calcium bentonite, 10 weight percent anhydrous trisodium phosphate, and 5 weight percent sodium borate. The adjuvant is combined with the hydrocarbon fuel or with combustion air in an amount of about 0.1 to 2.0 weight percent, based on the weight of the hydrocarbon fuel. Combustion efficiency is substantially improved and oxidation is substantially more complete, so that combustion products are produced in less noxious forms. In addition, the nature of slag or other deposits upon surfaces in a furnace or combustion chamber are substantially altered, so that corrosive conditions do not occur and the deposition of slag is prevented or materially reduced, and the ash is produced in a soft, friable form.

Abstract: A method of promoting combustion is provided by including an adjuvant for hydrocarbon fuels comprising a calcium based montmorillonite clay. The adjuvant is combined with the hydrocarbon fuel or with combustion air in an effective amount of about 2 X 10 5 to about 5 X 10 1 weight percent, based on the weight of the hydrocarbon fuel. Combustion efficiency is substantially improved and oxidation is substantially more complete, so that combustion products are produced in less noxious forms. In additions, the nature of slag or other deposits upon surfaces in a furnace or combustion chamber are substantially altered, so that corrosive conditions do not occur and the deposition of slag is prevented or materially reduced, and the ash is produced in a soft, friable form.
