Abstract

An improved process for making drilling fluid additives. The drilling fluid additives generally comprise titanium and/or zirconium lignosulfonates. The improved process of this invention can be performed without any delays caused by plugging during filtration. Filtration plugging problems are eliminated by adding only stoichiometric amounts of zirconium and/or titanium lignosulfonate to the lignosulfonate mixture prior to filtration.
