[0023] Comparative Example 1 Add 25 parts of water, 75 parts of succinic anhydride, 90 parts of glycine, 0.05 parts of transition metal catalyst and 12 parts of ethylene glycol diacrylate into the reactor, then heat to 100°C, stir for 60 minutes, add 80 parts of water, cool to 45°C to obtain a diluted stock solution, and then spray-dry the diluted stock solution to obtain a gypsum retarder.

[0024] Comparative Example 2 Tartaric acid was used alone as a gypsum retarder in the gypsum retarding experiment.

[0025] Comparative Example 3 The commercially available bone glue gypsum retarder was used as gypsum retarder in the gypsum retarding experiment.

[0026] In order to further evaluate the effect of the polycarboxyl modified protein gypsum retarder of the present invention on the setting time of gypsum, the gypsum retarder obtained in the above examples and comparative examples was used in the gypsum retarding experiment, and the retarder dosage was 0.08% of the mass of gypsum. The setting time of gypsum after adding the retarder was measured according to GB / T17669.4-1994 "Determination of physical properties of building gypsum paste" and GB / T 17669.3-1994 "Determination of physical properties of building gypsum paste". In addition, lime lime accounting for 2% of the total mass of gypsum was added to the gypsum, and the setting time of the above examples and comparative examples was tested under alkaline conditions. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.

[0027]

[0028] The experimental results show that the polycarboxyl modified protein gypsum retarder prepared under non-alkaline high pH and more suitable temperature reaction conditions has a better retarding effect under pure gypsum and alkaline conditions. Among them, the polycarboxylic acid and amino acid types used in Experimental Example 5 have a considerable improvement in the grafting retarding time.

[0029] Compared with Comparative Example 2, the present invention meets the requirements of gypsum construction by combining the retarder performance with macromolecular polycarboxylic acid groups and grafted protein amino acids, and avoids the problem that conventional organic acid small molecules have a short setting time and are unstable in gypsum.

[0030] Compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 3, the polycarboxyl-modified protein gypsum retarder prepared by the present invention has a stronger retarding effect. After being grafted with specific polycarboxylic acid organic matter and protein amino acid and active polyenyl amide, the retarding effect is better than that of the grafted product of ethylene glycol diacrylate, and is even better than the retarder obtained by hydrolysis of collagen.

[0031] The retarder production process of the present application not only avoids the environmental pollution problem caused by the high-temperature alkaline hydrolysis of the commonly used gelatin retarders on the market in terms of production environment, but also has the advantages of simple process, low energy consumption, low cost and no pollution. The gypsum retarder produced has the advantages of good solubility, high stability, no special odor, good retarding effect on gypsum, and small strength loss. At the same time, the present invention also provides a practical technical route for the reuse of food-grade protein resources.

[0032] A retarder for delaying the setting time of building gypsum and a preparation method thereof, The beneficial effects of the retarder for delaying the setting time of building gypsum and the preparation method of the present invention are: 1. Based on renewable food-grade protein raw materials and lower-cost poly-type grafted carboxylic acid derivatives, the molecular structure design has more active calcium ion chelating groups, thereby obtaining the key combination of active amide-polycarboxyl polyether, which has no odor, waste gas, or wastewater, and the process is simple and environmentally friendly; 2. Under the catalytic system, the yield of addition polymerization reaction can be improved. More effective amide bonds and polymer chains can better retain active carboxylic acid ions and molecular structures under strong acid or strong base conditions, such as in strong alkaline plaster gypsum in some special application scenarios, and improve the retarding effect of gypsum. At the same time, it is also easier to reduce the difference in retarding degree of the product in desulfurized and phosphorus building gypsum, thereby making the gypsum more adaptable and sensitive and having a wider range of applications.

[0033] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
