What is nonionic polyacrylamide PAM?

Nonionic polyacrylamide PAM is mainly used for flocculation and sedimentation of various industrial wastewater, and clarification and disposal of precipitation. Many friends have little knowledge of this type of polyacrylamide. Today, I will introduce the characteristics, efficacy, and usage of nonionic polyacrylamide PAM.

What are the different types of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

According to its ionic properties, PAM is divided into three main types: cationic (Cationic PAM, CPAM), anionic (Anionic PAM, APAM) and nonionic (Nonionic PAM, NPAM). These three types have significant differences in structure, function and application. 1. Cationic polyacrylamide (Cationic PAM, CPAM) Structure and properties:

What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam)?

Anionic polyacrylamide (Anionic PAM, APAM) Structure and properties: Anionic PAM is a water-soluble polymer. By introducing these anionic groups on the polymer backbone, APAM can react with positively charged substances. It is mainly used for flocculation, sedimentation and clarification of various industrial wastewaters.

What is a nonionic polymer (Pam)?

Nonionic PAM is a high molecular polymer or polyelectrolyte with a certain amount of polar genes in its molecular chain. It can adsorb solid particles suspended in water and bridge between particles to form large floccules, accelerate the sedimentation of particles in suspension, accelerate the clarification of solution, and promote filtration.

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.

What is Pam polymer used for?

PAM polymer is a kind of multifunctional oilfield chemical treatment agent. It is widely used in the process of drilling, cementing, completion, workover, fracturing, acidification, water injection, water plugging and profile control, and tertiary oil recovery operations in oil production.
