ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method for inhibiting the freeze-clumping of an aggregate material, such as coal. The invention contemplates applying to the coal an anti-icing material, the anti-icing material comprising molasses solids, such as desugared sugar beet molasses solids or sugar cane molasses solids and/or an aqueous solution of glucose, fructose, or of DP 2-5 polymers thereof. The anti-icing material has a viscosity sufficient to adhere to the aggregate material to an extent suitable to inhibit freeze-clumping thereof. Also disclosed is a clump-inhibited aggregate material that comprises an aggregate of units of a material in combination with an anti-icing material as heretofore described.
