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.

What are the different types of polyacrylamide water treatment?

Description: According to ionic characteristics, it can be divided into four types, non-ionic polyacrylamide NPAM, anionic polyacrylamide APAM, cationic polyacrylamide CPAM and amphoteric polyacrylamide. At present, the PAM water treatment is generally anionic type.

Can polyacrylamide flocculant improve water purification capacity?

Using organic polyacrylamide flocculant instead of inorganic flocculant, even don’t modify the sedimentation tank, it can increase water purification capacity by more than 20%. In sewage treatment, the use of PAM flocculant can increase the utilization rate of water recycling and can also be used for sludge dewatering.

Which polyacrylamide is used as a pulp dispersant?

Anionic polyacrylamide can be used as a pulp dispersant. 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.

Is polyacrylamide a water soluble polymer?

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a water-soluble linear high-molecular polymer formed by the polymerization of acrylamide monomers initiated by free radicals. At the same time, it is also a kind of polymer water treatment flocculant.

Can polyacrylamide be used as a coagulant aid?

Reduce the amount of flocculant. Under the premise of achieving the same water quality, the use of polyacrylamide as a coagulant aid in combination with other flocculants can greatly reduce the amount of flocculant used. Improve water quality.
