What are the different types of polyacrylamide?

Based on its ionic characteristics, polyacrylamide is mainly divided into three categories: anionic, cationic, and non-ionic. Amphoteric polyacrylamide is also used in specific fields. This article will delve into the differences between anionic polyacrylamide and cationic polyacrylamide in application.

Is polyacrylamide cationic or nonionic?

Polyacrylamide cationic Pam is suitable for suspending materials with negative charge and organic matter. Polyacrylamide nonionic Pam is suitable for separation of suspended solids in organic and inorganic mixtures, and the solution is acidic or neutral.

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.

What are the applications of cationic polyacrylamide?

Cationic polyacrylamide is mainly used in sludge dehydration of urban wasterwater treatment industry, such as Production of grain alcohol wastewater, papermaking wastewater, brewery wastewater, monosodium glutamate wastewater, sugar wastewater, high organic content wastewater, beverage wastewater, textile wastewater and dyeing wastewater ,etc.

What is the difference between polyacrylamide anion and cationic Pam?

polyacrylamide anion type Pam is suitable for high concentrations of positively charged inorganic suspensions, as well as coarse suspended particles (0.01-1mm), with a ph value of neutral or alkaline solution. Polyacrylamide cationic Pam is suitable for suspending materials with negative charge and organic matter.

What is the viscosity of cationic polyacrylamide emulsion?

When the polymer content was 28.10%, the apparent viscosity of the microemulsion reached more than 321 mPa·s, and its mobility was too poor to be pumped in practical applications. Liu prepared a water-in-water cationic polyacrylamide emulsion with a viscosity of 150~500 mPa·s, but its effective content was only about 15%.
