How can polyacrylamide and inorganic flocculants improve water quality?

Improve water quality. In drinking water treatment and industrial wastewater treatment, the combined use of polyacrylamide and inorganic flocculants can significantly improve water quality. Improve the strength and settling speed of flocs.

What are the different types of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

YASA ET is supplier of three different kinds of PAM: non-ion polyacrylamide (NPAM), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), and anionic polyacrylamide (APAM). Click here to learn more. PAM chemical compounds are used to flocculate and coagulate suspended solids in water, wastewater, and soil.

Which polyacrylamide is used as a pulp dispersant?

Anionic polyacrylamide can be used as a pulp dispersant. 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.

What are the different types of polyacrylamide water treatment?

Description: According to ionic characteristics, it can be divided into four types, non–ionic polyacrylamide NPAM, anionic polyacrylamide APAM, cationic polyacrylamide CPAM and amphoteric polyacrylamide. At present, the PAM water treatment is generally anionic type.

Why do water treatment plants use polyacrylamide?

This allows water treatment plants to greatly improve the removal of total organic content (TOC) from raw water. Another common use of polyacrylamide and its derivatives is in subsurface applications such as Enhanced Oil Recovery.

What is cationic polyacrylamide used for?

It is used for the waste water treatment in alcohol factory, monosodium glutamate factory, sugar factory, beverage factory, tanneries, dyeing and other fields. It has a better effect to be used together with inorganic coagulant in particular. Besides, cationic polyacrylamide can be used as paper additives as well.
