Chrome-free lignosulfonates are increasingly used in aqueous drilling fluids because of potential environmental concerns associated with the chromium counterparts. A basic design study of a chrome-free lignosulfonate showed three major reaction parameters affecting its performance: type and concentration of complexed metal ion, oxidation level under optimal pH, and lignosulfonte raw liquor. A new chrome-free lignosulfonate formulation based on titanium metal ion was developed and its plant scale-up was conducted. Testing of the new titanium-complexed lignosulfonate was found to give improved rheological control vs. other available chrome-free lignosulfonates in various water-based drilling fluid applications.
