What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam) powder used for?

Application: Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) powder is versatile and widely used in sludge dewatering, wastewater treatment, papermaking, water clarification, oilfield applications, textile sizing, and as a versatile polymer for thickening, flocculation, stabilization, adhesion, and biomedical materials.

What type of polyacrylamide is Apam?

Amphoteric Polyacrylamide. APAM is formed by hydrolysis and copolymerization of vinyl amide and vinyl cationic monomer acrylamide monomer. It is an irregular zwitterionic polymer with both positive and negative charges on the molecular chain. Non-ionic Polyacrylamide.

Can polyacrylamide flocculant improve water purification capacity?

Using organic polyacrylamide flocculant instead of inorganic flocculant, even don’t modify the sedimentation tank, it can increase water purification capacity by more than 20%. In sewage treatment, the use of PAM flocculant can increase the utilization rate of water recycling and can also be used for sludge dewatering.

How to make Apam polymer?

Strong acid, strong alkali, and high salt water are not suitable. The concentration of the polymer solution is recommended to be 0.1%-0.3%, that is, add 1g-3g PAM polymer powder to 1 liter of water. The appearance of APAM is white powder with a molecular weight ranging from 6 million to 25 million.

What is a high molecular weight polyacrylamide (PAM)?

Low molecular weight PAM can be used as a paper strengthening agent. Medium molecular weight polyacrylamide PAM is used as a retention and drainage aid. And high molecular weight polyacrylamide is used as a flocculant in the treatment of papermaking wastewater. At present, anionic PAM is most used in the paper industry.
