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.

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.

What is cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?

2. Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) This type of polymer has molecules that carry positive charge. Cationic PAM can pick up negatively charged particles (organic materials like carbon or human waste). CPAM is very efficient in usage and has high dehydration rate.

What is anionic polyacrylamide used for?

Anionic polyacrylamide can pick up positively charged particles (clay, sand), much like a magnet picks up nails and other metal objects. APAM can be widely used in waste water treatment of chemical industry, municipal sewage treatment, such as coal washing, mineral processing, metallurgy, iron and steel industry and electronic industry.

What is polyacrylamide used for?

Flocculate or coagulate solids in a liquid may be one of the largest uses for polyacrylamide which applies to wastewater treatment, and processes like paper making and screen printing. Polyacrylamide (PAM) can be supplied in a powder or liquid form, with the liquid form being subcategorized as solution and emulsion polymer.
