Molasses treatment for the 'molassperse' surfactant production for concrete plasticizers (water reducing admixtures) and cement clinker grinding additives applications

摘要

A method of treating molasses in which the molasses is modified to yield surfactants with plasticizer (water reducing) and dispersant properties. The essence of the treatment is that the molasses in the series is treated in acid and alkali environments at temperatures higher than ambient. This means that the ingredients of molasses are exposed to acid and alkali hydrolysis. The acid treatment provides the production of monosaccharides (reducing sugars), aldonic and aminocarbonic acids. The alkali treatment provides the forming of saccharinic acids and their salts, aldonic acid salts, aminocarbonic acids and their salts, and soluble soaps of wax ethers. The molasses modifications can be effectively used for concrete plasticizers (water reducing admixtures) and cement clinker grinding additives application.
