What are the applications of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

As a result, PAM is widely used in municipal wastewater treatment, oil extraction, pulp and paper production, and other fields. Polyacrylamide is mainly used in the flocculation, sedimentation, and dewatering processes in municipal wastewater treatment.

Does nonionic polyacrylamide affect the flocculation process of removing clay?

The presence of nonionic polyacrylamide has slight effect on the flocculation process efficiency of removing clay from industrial wastewater. On the other hand, usin g o f prepared flocculent, it was found that the presence of soap in water in large concentrations has a negative effect on flocculation process.

Can cationic polyacrylamide flocculants be used in river water?

The amount of flocculant added is 1/50 of that of inorganic flocculants, but the effect is several times higher than that of inorganic flocculants. For river water with severe organic pollution, it is better to use inorganic flocculants in conjunction with cationic polyacrylamide flocculants.

What is cationic polyacrylamide used for?

(2) Anionic polyacrylamide: Suitable for treating wastewater containing cationic suspended solids, such as mine wastewater and alkaline wastewater. It can bind with cationic suspended solids in the wastewater, forming flocs to promote solid-liquid separation.

What is non ionic polyacrylamide flocculant used for?

Dissolving non-ionic polyacrylamide flocculant into a concentration of 0.3% and adding it to a crosslinking agent can play a role in sand control and consolidation when sprayed on the desert. Soil moisturizing agent It used as a soil moisturizing agent and the basic raw material for various modified polyacrylamide flocculants.

What is polyacrylamide used for?

Polyacrylamide and its co-polymers are used as flocculants or coagulants in industrial wastewater treatment .Homo-polymer is used in this application and can be either nonionic, cationic or anionic depending on the types of wastewater needs to be treated. Also polyacrylamide can be prepared either as linear or as cross-linked.
