Abstract
A method for producing a high solids aqueous slurry of particulate calcium carbonate having highly stable aging characteristics, comprising dispersing in water at at least 70% by weight solids, a finely divided particulate calcium carbonate, utilizing as a dispersing agent from 20 to 34 lbs/ton of dry mineral (expressed as 40% actives), of a copolymer of acrylic acid and a sulfonated vinyl monomer, which is converted to the salt form by from about 30 to 50% of its carboxylic acid sites being neutralized with a polyvalent cation, and substantially the balance of said carboxylic sites being neutralized with a monovalent cation.
