An aqueous solution of a heteropolysaccharide comprising glucose, galactose, pyruvic and succinic acid, is prepared by mixing a concentrate of said heteropolysaccharide with a saline aqueous medium containing from 12 to 30% w of at least one salt, and by shearing the mixture obtained.

Process for the preparation of an aqueous solution of a

A process for the gasification of oil containing finely dispersed solids, e.g., oil from tar sands, by partial combustion in a hollow reactor is disclosed in which process the gaseous oxidant is introduced into the reactor under flow conditions characterized by a relatively large axial velocity component as compared with the tangential flow component resulting in a relatively long flame.
