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 Pam flocculant used for?

In sewage treatment, the use of PAM flocculant can increase the utilization rate of water recycling and can also be used for sludge dewatering. In industrial water treatment, it is an important formulation agent. PAM polymer is a kind of multifunctional oilfield chemical treatment agent.

Are cationic and anionic polyacrylamides effective in flocculation of pulp and paper mill wastewater?

The flocculation performances of nine cationic and anionic polyacrylamides with different molecular weights and different charge densities in the treatment of pulp and paper mill wastewater have been studied.

How can polyacrylamide and inorganic flocculants improve water quality?

Improve water quality. In drinking water treatment and industrial wastewater treatment, the combined use of polyacrylamide and inorganic flocculants can significantly improve water quality. Improve the strength and settling speed of flocs.

Which cationic polyacrlyamide has the highest flocculation efficiency?

Cationic polyacrlyamide Organopol 5415 with very high molecular weight and low charge density is found to give the highest flocculation efficiency in the treatment of the paper mill wastewater.

What is cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?

Cationic Polyacrylamide. In general, CPAM is white powder in appearance with an ionic degree ranging from 20% to 55%. It has the characteristics of high polymer electrolyte and is suitable for the treatment of wastewater with negative charge and rich in organic matter.
