sodium lignosulfonate

Sodium Lignosulfonate Description

Sodium lignosulfonate, also known as lignosulfonate acid sodium salt, is brown powder in appearance. It has no special peculiar smell, is non-toxic, soluble in water and lye, precipitates in acid, and has strong dispersion sbility. Sodium lignisulfonate is a water-soluble multifunctional polymer electrolyte, which has the ability to disperse biological slime, iron oxide scale and calcium phosphate scale. It can also form stable complexes with zinc and calcium ions. As a commonly used concrete admixture, it has the advantages of low cost and environmental friendliness. In addition, it can also be used in many other industrial fields. Feel free to inquiry us for sodium lignosulfonate price now.

The Role of Sodium Lignosulfonate in Concrete

After adding sodium lignosulfonate into concrete, the hydrophobic groups are oriented and adsorbed on the surface of cement particles, which makes the cement negatively charged. Cement particles with the same charge repel and disperse each other under the action of the charge repulsion. The flocculent structure formed in the initial stage of water addition becomes a dispersed structure, and the free water in the flocculated aggregate is released, thereby achieving the purpose of a water reducing agent.

With the addition of sodium lignosulfonate, there are fewer capillary pores left by the evaporation of free water, and the internal structure is dense. That is to say, the reduction of porosity is obviously conducive to the improvement of concrete strength, and the size and distribution of the pore structure of cement are improved. The speed of crystal growth is delayed and the crystal growth is more complete, so more fibrous crystals are interspersed with each other to form a strong network structure, so that the strength of concrete is significantly improved. Therefore, mixing lignosulfonate acid sodium salt water-reducing agent in concrete can reduce the water consumption of the concrete mixture, reduce the water-cement ratio, improve workability, facilitate pumping, and improve concrete strength, compactness and durability.

Main Performance of Ligosulphonate Powder Water Reducer in Concrete

• Improve concrete performance. When the amount of cement is the same, the slump is similar to that of blank concrete. The addition of lignosulfonate powder can reduce water consumption by 10-15%, increase strength by 10-20% in 28 days, and increase strength by about 10% in one year.
• Saving cement consumption. When the strength and slump of the concrete are similar, the cement can be saved by about 10%, and the use of 1 ton of water reducing agent can save 30-40 tons of cement.
• Improve the workability of concrete. When the amount of cement and water used in the concrete remain unchanged, the slump of low-plasticity concrete can be increased by about two times.
• Retarding effect. After adding 0.25% sodium lignin sulfonate, when the slump of the concrete is basically the same, the initial setting time of ordinary cement is delayed by 1-2 hours, slag cement is cement is 2-4 hours, and the final setting time is 2 hours for ordinary cement and slag cement is 2-3 hours.
• Reduce the early hydration heat of cement.The appearance time of the exothermic peak is delayed compared with that without the addition of sodium lignosulphonate. Ordinary cement is about 3 hours, slag cement is about 8 hours, and dam cement is more than 11 hours. The highest temperature of exothermic peak is compared with that without addition of sodium lignosulphonate, both cement and dam cement are below 3°
• Increase the air content of concrete. The air content of blank concrete is about 1%, and the air content of concrete mixed with 0.25% lignosulfonate acid sodium saltis about 2.3%.
• The secrete water rate is reduced. Under the condition that the slump of concrete is basically the same, the secrete water rate of admixed with lignosulphonate acid sodium salt can be reduced by more than 30%.
• Dry shrinkage performance, At the initial stage, compared with the concrete without the addition of sodium lignosulfonate, it was basically close to or slightly reduced, and at 28 days and later, it increased slightly, but the increase did not exceed 0.01% (0.01mm/m).
• Improve the compactness of concrete and improve the impermeability of concrete.
• No chlorine salt, no corrosion hazard to steel bars.

Other Sodium Lignosulfonate Uses

Used as an additive for coal water slurry. The addition of sodium lignosulfonate in the process of preparing coal water slurry can increase the output of the mill, maintain the normal state of the pulping system, reduce the power consumption of the slurry, and increase the concentration of the coal water slurry. During the gasification process, the oxygen consumption and coal consumption decrease, and the cold gas efficiency increases, and the coal water slurry can reduce the viscosity and reach a certain degree of stability and fluidity.

Used as a reinforcing agent for refractory materials and ceramic bodies. In the manufacturing process of large-size wall and floor tiles and refractory bricks, the raw material particles of the green body can be firmly bonded, and the strength of the dry green body can be increased by more than 20%-60%.

Used as a filler and dispersant in the dye industry and pesticide processing. When used as a dispersant and filler for vat dyes and disperse dyes, it can increase the color power of the dye, make the coloring more uniform, and shorten the time of dye grinding. In pesticide processing, it can be used as filler, dispersant and suspending agent, greatly improving the suspension rate and wetting performance of wettable powder.

Used as a binder for powder and granular materials.  Used for pressing spheroids of iron ore powder, lead-zinc ore powder, pulverized coal, and coke powder. Used for pressing of cast iron and cast steel sand molds, extrusion molding of mud brick walls and floor tiles.

Used as diluting dispersant and viscosity reducer in drilling. Improve fluidity in crude oil transportation and reduce energy consumption. In petroleum products, it is used as a cleaning agent, dispersant, high-alkaline additive, anti-rust agent, anti-static agent, emulsifying viscosity reducer, wax removing agent, etc.

Application in polymer materials. Lignin and its derivatives can be blended with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and other olefin polymer materials to improve the stability, strength and anti-photolysis properties of the material.
