Oil emulsion

Abstract

[Object] To provide an oil emulsion which can be readily ignited using a conventional, commercially available burner without need of a specific type of device and which has a high ratio of water to an oil and is inexpensive. [Solving Means] An oil emulsion is obtained by mixing under agitation an oil, an emulsifier and a specific type of water obtained by initially passing water through an ion exchange resin, passing either tourmaline or a silicon dioxide-rich rock selected among igneous rocks and further passing the other. The oil emulsion obtained by mixing the oil, the emulsifier and the water is inexpensive and is able to maintain a stable emulsified state.
