Abstract
Use is made of a high-speed agitator comprising vessel,rotated at a low speed and bladed agitating element,rotated at a high speed in direction reverse to that of the vessel,, the bladed agitating element,having a rotary axis arranged parallel to, and located apart from, the rotary axis of the vessel,Petroleum residuum such as solvent deasphalting residuum is agitated together with a grinding auxiliary and water in the high-speed agitator so that the petroleum residuum is ground. Thereafter, a dispersant is added thereto to form a slurry and the viscosity thereof is adjusted to a given value. A stabilizer is further added thereto to obtain a stable slurry. The dispersant and the stabilizer may be placed in the high-speed agitator prior to the grinding of the petroleum residuum. Thus, there is provided a process in which a high-concentration petroleum residuum-water slurry with a desirable particle size distribution, being cheap and highly stable, can easily be obtained by a one-stage grinding.
