Can acrylamide be used as an anionic polyelectrolyte?

As the ratio of the acrylic acid to acrylamide goes up in an anionic polyelectrolyte the viscosity built up is considerable which limits the practical use of this method on an industrial scale. Polyelectrolytes are also manufactured by the emulsion polymerisation of acrylamide and a co monomer like acrylic acid or a cationic monomer.

Which comonomer is used for the production of anionic polyacrylamides?

The workhorse comonomer for the production of anionic polyacrylamides is acrylate salts of acrylic acid. These anionic polymers can be prepared as various mono- and divalent metal salts and other positively charged inorganic and organic counterions of the polymerization of acrylic acid with acrylamide (see Fig. 34.4).

Who sells anionic powder flocculants / polyacrylamides (adpolyacrylamide)?

ATAMAN KIMYA sells anionic powder flocculants / polyacrylamides (ADPolyacrylamide) with anionic charge density ranging from 0-100%. Anionic Polyelectrolyte is used in drinking water and wastewater treatment, Paper Industry, Petroleum Industry, Mining, Agriculture, Textile, Cosmetics industry.

What is anionic polyelectrolyte?

Anionic Polyelectrolyte is a type of polymer used in dewatering sludge arising from biological treatment processes. Anionic Polyelectrolyte is used in drinking water and wastewater treatment, Paper Industry, Petroleum Industry, Mining, Agriculture, Textile, Cosmetics industry.

What is an anionic polyacrylamide?

Anionic polyacrylamides make up the largest portion of the polyacrylamide market. The polymers can be prepared over a wide range of anionic charges and molecular weights (1000 to > 20,000,000 molecular weight). The workhorse comonomer for the production of anionic polyacrylamides is acrylate salts of acrylic acid.

What type of polyacrylamide is used in oil industry?

The polyacrylamide use can be anionic, cationic, or nonionic with various ratios of the comonomers used in the case of the anionic and cationic polymers. The anionic polyacrylamides in the oil field industry are designated by the generic name of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA), although they are in actuality copolymers .
