Abstract

The invention pertains to the use of a homopolymer of acrylic acid or a copolymer of acrylic acid with a water-soluble monomer, as a dispersing agent or grinding aid agent in a method for manufacturing an aqueous suspension of mineral materials through dispersion and/or grinding, characterized in that the carboxylic groups of said agent are fully or partially neutralized by the lithium ion and in that it exhibits a viscosity index of between 0.01 and 0.08.
