The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a hardening accelerator composition by reacting a calcium source selected from calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide with a water-soluble silicate compound in the presence of at least one water-soluble polymeric dispersing agent and the hardening accelerator composition obtainable by said process. The composition has a low content of anions and of alkali cations and is therefore broadly applicable in building material mixtures.

A solid polycarboxylate superplasticizer, preparation method, and use. A monohydroxyl/monoamino polyoxyethylene ether or derivative thereof and unsaturated benzenesulfonic acid small monomer having the effects of crack resistance, shrinkage reduction and catalysis are added to a reactor at one time by a one-pot process, mixed and stirred, followed by vacuum dehydration under heating conditions or an esterification reaction under the introduction of a protective gas. After the reaction is completed and cooled, slicing or milling is performed to obtain the solid polycarboxylate superplasticizer. The superplasticizer has crack resistance and shrinkage reduction while ensuring initial dispersion performance. An organic solvent is not used, and a green environmental protection effect is achieved. The esterification rate is high, reaction conditions are mild, energy consumption is low, and operation steps are simple. The superplasticizer is easy to slice or mill and convenient to realize industrial production, with a good market prospect.
