What are the different types of Pam chemical?

Pam also has different names such as polyacrylamide, Anion or Anionic Polyacrylamide, PAM chemical is the chemical used in industry to treat wastewater belonging to the sedimentation group because it can reduce the frictional resistance between liquids, and can be divided into anionic, cationic, non-ionic and amphoteric type.

What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam)?

Anionic polyacrylamide (Anionic PAM, APAM) Structure and properties: Anionic PAM is a water-soluble polymer. By introducing these anionic groups on the polymer backbone, APAM can react with positively charged substances. It is mainly used for flocculation, sedimentation and clarification of various industrial wastewaters.

What are the different types of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

So PAM chemical can be used for petroleum exploration, water treatment, textile, papermaking, mineral processing, medicine, agriculture and other industries, etc. The polyacrylamide (PAM) can be divided into four types, they are anionic PAM, cationic PAM, nonionic and amphoteric PAM. The following are their detailed introduction and specifications.

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 anionic Pam used for?

At present, anionic PAM is most used in the paper industry. In food industry, it is used for cane juice clarification and syrup phosphorus floatation extraction in the production of cane sugar and beet sugar. Used in the flocculation and clarification industry of enzyme fermentation broth.

What is a high molecular weight polyacrylamide (PAM)?

Low molecular weight PAM can be used as a paper strengthening agent. Medium molecular weight polyacrylamide PAM is used as a retention and drainage aid. And high molecular weight polyacrylamide is used as a flocculant in the treatment of papermaking wastewater. At present, anionic PAM is most used in the paper industry.
