What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam)?

1. Introduction Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is a kind of organic high-molecular polymer with high hydrophilicity and viscosity, which is easily dissolved in water [, , ].

How is anionic polyacrylamide synthesized?

Synthesis mechanism The anionic polyacrylamide was synthesized by copolymerizing AM and SAS monomers. The essence of copolymerization is the free radical reaction. Thus, this chain reaction can be divided into three distinct processes: initiation, propagation, and termination.

Can anionic polyacrylamide reduce AD of was?

This study aims to investigate the potential of using anionic polyacrylamide (APAM), a commonly used agent in WWTPs, to mitigate the adverse effects of Cd in a toxic amount (i.e., 5.0 mg per g total suspended solids (TSS)) on AD of WAS.

Can UV-initiated template polymerization prepare a novel anionic polyacrylamide with a microblock structure?

E-mail: zhl6512@126.com; Fax: +86 23 65120827; Tel: +86 23 65120827 Ultraviolet (UV)-initiated template polymerization (UTP) was used as a feasible strategy to prepare a novel anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) with a microblock structure.

What spectroscopy is used to identify anionic polyacrylamide flocculant?

The anionic polyacrylamide (APAM-T) flocculant was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H NMR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was conducted to measure the elemental composition.

Do anionic polymers have hemolytic activity or erythrocyte aggregation?

In contrast, the amino-acid-derived anionic polymers of the current study did not reveal any hemolytic activity or erythrocyte aggregation (Figures S16 and S19), emphasizing a favorable balance between anionic character and hydrophobicity.
