What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam)?

Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is a hydrophilic polymer which is easy to be carbonized (Choi et al., 2004). The amide group (−CONH 3) on APAM can form hydrogen bond with the uncondensed amine groups on surface of g-C 3 N 4 (Schwinghammer et al., 2014).

What are the different types of anionic polyacrylamide synthesis technologies?

The paper lists six different kinds of anionic polyacrylamide synthesis technologies, including homopolymerization posthydrolysis process, homopolymerization cohydrolysis process, copolymerization approach, inverse emulsion polymerization, precipitation polymerization and radiation polymerization.

Can anionic polyacrylamide be used as a mediator in environmental remediation?

Uncovering an accessible and cheap material as mediator becomes a top priority, which can potentially improve the activity of heterojunction in environmental remediation. Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is a hydrophilic polymer which is easy to be carbonized (Choi et al., 2004).

Can anionic polyacrylamide be used in water treatment?

What's more, the authors discussed the application status of anionic polyacrylamide in water treatment. Based on these reviews, future research perspectives relating to its synthesis and application were proposed. This review summarizes the synthesis methods for anionic polyacrylamide.

Which ternary composite has better photocatalytic activity for TC degradation?

The obtained C–W/N ternary composite shows improved photocatalytic activity for TC degradation compared with pure g-C 3 N 4, WO 3 and other binary composites (C–W, C–N and W/N). Importantly, C–W/N also exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity for TC degradation in different initial concentration and pH value.

Does ternary composite photocatalyst improve cyclic tetracycline degradation under visible light?

Consequently, as-prepared C–W/N ternary composite photocatalyst exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance for tetracycline (TC) degradation under visible light compared to pure g-C 3 N 4, WO 3 and other binary composites. Moreover, the material showed high stability and reusability in cyclic TC degradation.
