  • Patent number: 5286412
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-set retarding lignosulfonate dispersing agent useful for making an aqueous calcined gypsum slurry, said dispersing agent produced by contacting an aqueous solution of a lignosulfonate with a salt of a multivalent metal selected from the group consisting of iron (II), iron (III), manganese (II) and cobalt (II) to form an aqueous solution of a multivalent metal salt and lignosulfonate having an acidic pH, and thereafter neutralizing said aqueous solution of said multivalent metal salt and lignosulfonate at an elevated temperature with an alkaline material.
