Abstract:
1. A method of improving the combustion of and the slag resulting from the combustion of a hydrocarbonaceous fuel composition, the method comprising the steps of: providing a hydrocarbonaceous fuel composition comprising a transition metal-containing organometallic compound, at least one alkali metal compound, and a magnesium-containing compound, the amount of magnesium-containing compound is an amount sufficient to supply about 60 to 600 ppm magnesium metal to the fuel composition; combusting the fuel composition in a combustion system, wherein the combustion of the fuel composition causes the formation of slag; wherein the amount of transition metal, alkali metal and magnesium contained in the fuel composition is in an amount effective to improve the combustion of the fuel composition and improve the slag resulting from combustion of the fuel; whereby the slag is improved and the improvement to the slag is selected from the group comprising slag that is more easily removed, is less built up, and is more friable.
