What is a high molecular weight anionic polymer flocculant?

High molecular weight anionic polymer flocculant. Accepta 2047 is a superior quality anionic high molecular weight latex emulsion polyacrylamide co-polymer for effluent and wastewater treatment.

Why is anionic polyacrylamide important in water treatment?

These groups can neutralize charges with positively charged particles in water and form larger flocs through bridging, thus accelerating the sedimentation of particles in the suspension. Anionic polyacrylamide plays a significant role in water treatment in the following aspects:

How does anionic polyacrylamide (Apam) work?

Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) carries a negative charge, and its molecular chain contains polar groups such as carboxyl groups. These groups can neutralize charges with positively charged particles in water and form larger flocs through bridging, thus accelerating the sedimentation of particles in the suspension.

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).

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 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.
