Abstract
The invention resides in a method for manufacturing a metallic hydroxide-based and metallic oxide-based powder, which is self-dispersing in water, characterized in that a metallic oxide powder is partially treated with a polymer in the form of an aqueous emulsion and/or solution, in such a way that the level of metallic hydroxide by dry weight within said treated powder is less than 99% of its total weight, and in that said polymer is a water-soluble homopolymer or copolymer containing at least one vinylic monomer. In one particular variant, the polymer is a water-soluble copolymer containing a vinylic monomer and a non-ionic monomer, and the metal is calcium and/or magnesium. The invention also pertains to the powders obtained, their uses in aqueous suspensions, in treating waste, as a chemical additive, or as a soil amendment.
