What is anionic polyacrylamide?

This document provides safety information for anionic polyacrylamide. It is a white powder used as a flocculant in mineral processing and water treatment. The powder is non-irritating to skin but can cause eye and lung irritation if dust is inhaled.

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 cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?

Cationic Polyacrylamide. In general, CPAM is white powder in appearance with an ionic degree ranging from 20% to 55%. It has the characteristics of high polymer electrolyte and is suitable for the treatment of wastewater with negative charge and rich in organic matter.

What is anionic Pam used for?

At present, anionic PAM is most used in the paper industry. In food industry, it is used for cane juice clarification and syrup phosphorus floatation extraction in the production of cane sugar and beet sugar. Used in the flocculation and clarification industry of enzyme fermentation broth.

What is cationic Pam used for?

Cationic PAM is suitable for the treatment of wastewater with high organic colloid content in industries, such as dyeing, papermaking, food, construction, metallurgy, beneficiation, coal powder, oil field, aquatic product processing and fermentation industrial fields.

What type of polyacrylamide is Apam?

Amphoteric Polyacrylamide. APAM is formed by hydrolysis and copolymerization of vinyl amide and vinyl cationic monomer acrylamide monomer. It is an irregular zwitterionic polymer with both positive and negative charges on the molecular chain. Non-ionic Polyacrylamide.
