I'm looking for info on #2 fuel oil. We use it in floatation cells to beneficiate phosphate ore. I remember a old chemist who used to work in uranium solvent (SX) extraction telling me there were many "grades" of #2 fuel oil. He mentioned a brand or grade called 'napoleum' that he said was far better for SX work than what was currently available.
I'm interested to know if there are better grades available, and what properties make them better. Also, would these properties that helped in SX applications do a better job in floation cells too?
