Title of Invention

A PROCESS FOR PREPARING A HYDRAULIC BINDER MATERIAL WITH LOW CHROMIUM (VI) CONTENT

Abstract The invention concerns an adjuvant for reducing chromium (VI) ions into chromium (III) comprising a tin (II) complex and a carboxylic acid or one of its salts, as well as a method for preparing same. The invention also concerns a method for preparing a material with reduced chromium (VI) content. The invention further concerns the use of said adjuvant for reducing chromium (VI) ions into chromium (HI).

Additive for reducing chromium (VI) ions to chromium (III) ions



Another aim of the present invention was to propose an additive of this type in which
the tin(II) is stable (no precipitation) even in an alkaline medium.
Another aim of the present invention was to propose additive of this type that does
not modify the properties and the behaviour of the added materials.
not modify the properties and the behaviour of the added materials.


Finally. the additive described may also contain other additives conventional for the
desiored application, especially for the preparation of the cementing medium such as










The reaction between the tin(II) compound and the carboxylic acid or its sah is rapid and canplete. The order in which the reagents are introduced is of no paxticular incidence. The réaction leads to the formation of a water-soluble complex, which is stable both in an addic médium and in an alkaline médium (up to pH = 14). The îin(n) thus complexed is stable with respect to oxidation, but available for an oxidation/reduction reaction with chromium(VI).
The additive described is particularly useful for produeing materials having a k)w chromium(VI) content





The NMt tin tests were carried out at 300 K on a Bruker Avance 300 Spectrometer
(111.9 MHz for tin 119) equipped with a 5mm BBI probe.








These tests demonstrate that the additives prepared with a gluconate/tin molar ratio of
greater than 1:1 are stable, i,e clear, even at alkaline PHs. It is assumed that the
greater than 1:1 are stable, i,e, clear, even at alkaline PHs. It is assumed that the
precipitate in the solution in Example 7 orignates from tin(II) present in non-
complexed form, owing to the absence of gluconate in this solution.

The stability of the complex imparts a very considerable degree of formulation
freedom, facilitating in particular, compatibility with a broad rage of additives. It
may also help to stabilise the additive in materials having a very alkaline PH such as,
in particular, cement, thus allowing the reductive effect of the chromium (VI) ions to
be perpetuated. Finally, the stability of the additives provides them witha certain dobustners
with respect to variations in the processing conditions.i a certain
