What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam) powder used for?

Application: Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) powder is versatile and widely used in sludge dewatering, wastewater treatment, papermaking, water clarification, oilfield applications, textile sizing, and as a versatile polymer for thickening, flocculation, stabilization, adhesion, and biomedical materials.

What is polyacrylamide (PAM) used for?

In water treatment and industrial production, polyacrylamide (PAM) is widely used as an important flocculant in wastewater treatment, pulp production, ore processing, and other fields. Based on its ionic properties, PAM can be divided into anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) and cationic PAM (CPAM).

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.

Which is better cationic or anionic polyacrylamide?

Cationic PAM is especially suitable for treating negatively charged organic substances such as high-concentration colloids and suspended solids in wastewater treatment. Due to its complex production process and superior performance, cationic PAM is usually priced higher than anionic polyacrylamide.

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 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.
