Which is better cationic or anionic polyacrylamide?

Cationic PAM is especially suitable for treating negatively charged organic substances such as high-concentration colloids and suspended solids in wastewater treatment. Due to its complex production process and superior performance, cationic PAM is usually priced higher than anionic polyacrylamide.

What are the types of industrial polyacrylamides?

The types of flocculants, in other words industrial polyacrylamides, are cationic, anionic or nonionic polyacrylamides. Kemira’s polyacrylamides of wide range of charge and molecular weight are sold in dry powder or emulsion format and have excellent performance.

What is anionic polyacrylamide?

Anionic polyacrylamide is suitable for higher density, inorganic suspension substance with positive charge and is neutral or basic, with thick suspension particles of 1mm-10mm. Polyacrylamide comes in various forms such as granular, liquid oil emulsion, tablet, and block forms.

How do I choose the right polyacrylamide product?

When selecting the appropriate polyacrylamide product, the following factors need to be considered: Understanding the pH value, properties of suspended particles (such as charge, particle size, concentration), and organic content of the water to be treated will help select the appropriate anionic polyacrylamide or cationic PAM.

What is adpam / polyacrylamide?

We produce anionic powder flocculants / polyacrylamides (ADPAM) with anionic charge density ranging from 0-100%. We also offer anionic inverse emulsion (AEPAM) flocculants in a standard range plus in extremely high molecular weight via Kemira’s proprietary emulsion hydrolysis technology.

Does Kemira produce cationic dry powder flocculants / polyacrylamides?

Kemira produces a full range of cationic dry powder flocculants / polyacrylamides (CDPAM) in a range of molecular weights. We also offer a full range of cationic inverse emulsion (CEPAM) flocculants of different cationic charge densities and molecular weight variants.
