Talk:Mazut

Untitled

What's the relationship between this article and Heating oil? I ask because the latter links to articles in other languages that sound a lot like "Mazut". Melchoir 01:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• and, besides, this article links to the Russian "Мазут", which links back to the English Fuel oil. I think this article should be deleted. VZakharov (talk) 11:14, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Good grief, who wrote this 'English'?

e.g. "It has a very limited volume to be exported because:" is not a meaningful English sentence. Please can we have EN Wikipedia articles written in ENGLISH???!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.70.251.158 (talk) 12:17, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Who are the top suppliers for mazut? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.253.133.110 (talk) 18:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Mazut is used in Serbia very much for heating radiator heating systems in cities (in heating power plants), and I guess in other Balkan states too. --79.175.120.130 (talk) 12:02, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Untgged

"Mazut" gets used a lot in discussing Russian and Soviet oil production, and appears to be a distinct variety of fuel oil; I've removed the merge tag. There are lots of sources on Google Books so it would be only a little work to add references for this article. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:45, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

A Russian term, rather than a specific material??

Is mazut a Russian term for an oil product? For example, would any Western Hemisphere country call a locally-produced product "mazut", even though it may be chemically the same?

If so, is then "mazut" just a Russian term for low-quality bunker fuel, rather than a separate material?

.... Excellent question. The article is written in some bizarre variety of Russo-English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.70.251.158 (talk) 12:19, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

.... How is mazut different from No. 6 typical fuel oil that was used as a power plant fuel and heating fuel in the U.S. prior to the Clean Air Act? I suspect that it a Russian term for a similar fuel and not a unique fuel.

M100 undeclared

"Oil spills involving Mazut have unique harmful effects on marine environment as the fuel-oil solidifies at 25°C and sinks to the ocean floor making it impossible to chemically remediate."

Both references (BBC and Greenpeace) talk about "M100", there is no discernible link with "Mazut". This needs fixing. "Impossible to chemically remediate" needs rewording, perhaps "impossible to clean up with chemicals". The second reference makes a point of how the solids clog and poison (how? they're solid) the marine wildlife and doesn't talk about chemicals to clean up the spill. So this probably needs better references. At least the link between M100 and Mazut needs to be established. Bob Jed (talk) 10:36, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
