Abstract:
A hydrocarbon in water emulsion, the emulsion having 20 weight % to about 90 weight % Fischer-Tropsch wax, comprising:Fischer-Tropsch process water; of a Fischer-Tropsch derived wax, said wax by itself is solid at room temperature, comprising at least about 20 weight %, based on the weight of the wax and Fischer-Tropsch process water; from about 0.25 to 5 weight %, based on the weight of the wax and Fischer-Tropsch process water, of a first nonionic surfactant selected from mono- and dialkyl ethoxylated phenols having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl groups and having an HLB of at least 11; and from about 0.05 to 5 weight %, based on the weight of the wax and Fischer-Tropsch process water, of a second nonionic surfactant selected from mono- and dialkyl ethoxylated phenols having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl groups and having an HLB of less than 11.
