Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014181133A2] A process for breaking hydrocarbon bonds during the combustion or heating of a particulate hydrocarbon containing fuel bound carbon and fuel bound nitrogen comprises the steps of: heating the particulate hydrocarbon with a fuel improver in a burner, the fuel improver comprising predominantly iron oxide and silicon dioxide. The proportion of fuel improver to fuel is up to 33% by weight of particulate hydrocarbon. The particulate hydrocarbon has a particle size distribution and the fuel improver has a particle size distribution, and particles of hydrocarbon at the 90th percentile of its particle size distribution are larger than the particles of the fuel improver at the 90th percentile of its particle size distribution, and wherein the particles of fuel improver at the 10th percentile of its particle size distribution are an order of magnitude smaller than the hydrocarbon particles at the 90th percentile its particle size distribution.
