What is organic polymer flocculant cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?

The organic polymer flocculant cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) has the characteristics of a low additive amount, good turbidity removal and water purification effect, and high COD removal efficiency, and it has become the most commonly used polymer flocculant in the oilfield wastewater treatment process [11, 12, 13, 14, 15].

What factors affect the flocculation effect of cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?

Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) is a commonly used flocculant for water treatment. Factors that affect the flocculation effect and can be controlled manually include the type and dosage of CPAM, wastewater pH, stirring time and settling time, and their reasonable setting is critical to the flocculation effect of CPAM.

Can cationic polyacrylamide be used in oilfield wastewater treatment?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) solid particle is one of the most commonly used organic polymer flocculants in oilfield wastewater treatment, but it poses some problems, such as a slow dissolution rate and an easy formation into a “fish-eye” in the process of diluting into aqueous solution.

Can cationic polyacrylamide flocculants be used in river water?

The amount of flocculant added is 1/50 of that of inorganic flocculants, but the effect is several times higher than that of inorganic flocculants. For river water with severe organic pollution, it is better to use inorganic flocculants in conjunction with cationic polyacrylamide flocculants.

How does chemical flocculation work in oilfield wastewater treatment?

The chemical flocculation method can make the oil droplets and suspended matter in wastewater quickly settle and flocculate, which is one of the main treatment methods for oilfield wastewater [9, 10].

What is non ionic polyacrylamide flocculant used for?

Dissolving non-ionic polyacrylamide flocculant into a concentration of 0.3% and adding it to a crosslinking agent can play a role in sand control and consolidation when sprayed on the desert. Soil moisturizing agent It used as a soil moisturizing agent and the basic raw material for various modified polyacrylamide flocculants.
