Abstract

Novel, ethoxylated lignites which exhibit excellent water solubility as well as solubility in organic liquids are obtained by ethoxylating lignite at elevated temperatures using various weight ratios of ethylene oxide to lignite, the ethoxylation being conducted using an alkali metal alkylate catalyst in a solvent which is generally inert under reaction conditions.
