Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a polycondensation product by polycondensing monomers including (A) an aromatic or heteroaromatic compound containing a polyether chain, (B) optionally an aromatic or heteroaromatic compound which is different from monomer (A), and (C) an aldehyde, in the presence of a protonation catalyst, wherein the aldehyde is provided by a fast-releasing aldehyde source and a slow-releasing aldehyde source.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a process for preparing an additive for cementitious materials, in particular an admixture for paste, grout, mortar and concrete applications as well as a cement additive for cement production by grinding, from a sugar-based material. The process comprises a step of the sugar-based material being subjected to a sulfonation treatment.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for preparing admixture blends for construction material on site, which comprises the steps of: a) selecting at least one kind of raw material for formulating out an admixture blend and providing a water supply on site; b) controlling the usage amount of said at least one kind of raw material and water on site according to construction material performance requirement; c) mixing the predetermined amount of raw materials and water on site; and d) directly supplying the obtained admixture blend to a manufacturing apparatus for construction material on a construction material manufacturing site, wherein the whole process of preparation is completed with the online control from a computer. The present invention also discloses a mobile micro-plant for implementing the method.
