lignosulfonates for Animal Health

lignosulfonates are plant material originating from a period which pre-dates the dinosaurs. The dark powder contains the dense mineral component which characterised those ancient plants. It also contains the amino acids and many of the other beneficial phytochemicals from that original plant matter. lignosulfonates have proven invaluable as a soil additive where their multi-faceted benefits include detoxification, chelation, enhanced nutrient and water storage, plant growth promotion and powerful biological promotion. In fact, lignosulfonates are arguably the single most effective soil regenerator available, and their rapidly increasing popularity throughout the world is testimony to their potential.

Chemicals Expose Fragility

The Chinese have pioneered the use of lignosulfonates in agriculture, although the Russians have also conducted extensive research in this field. In China, a sustainable agricultural system, involving the feeding and nurturing of highly productive soils, had existed for three thousand years. In the 20th century the communist government promoted the introduction of chemical fertilisers which rapidly exposed the fragility of these soils. lignosulfonates were researched and introduced on a large scale to counteract the effects of chemical fertilisers. lignosulfonates stabilise and buffer the leaching and burning associated with these artificial fertilisers and they also magnify their beneficial effect.

lignosulfonate  has different compositions and molecular dimensions (because they are polymers that can be modified by the addition of organic or inorganic groups to the molecule). They are anionic derivatives of lignosulfonate , water soluble and surfactants. lignosulfonate s can increase mechanical green and dry strength in ceramic pieces. Also, they work as lubricants during extrusion or pressing . Additions of lignosulfonate s to ceramic slips can vary from 0.1 to 2.0% and they are relatively inexpensive. For pressed tiles, 1% lignosulfonate  can double mechanical strength (however often a black core appears). lignosulfonate s are often used to reduce shrinkage yet maintain after-forming mechanical strength (because reduced amounts of plastic clays are needed).

Currently in building ceramic body used in the formulation additives are mainly two: one is body enhancer , mainly used to increase the strength of the body , is mainly used in low viscosity carboxymethylcellulose is CMC; a coagulant solution species are primarily used to reduce the viscosity of the mud , reducing the moisture content of the mud to reduce the spray drying tower granulation step water slurry fuel consumption , is used in ceramic manufacturers coagulant solution of sodium silicate and the three main sodium tripolyphosphate.
