What is nonionic polyacrylamide PAM?

Nonionic polyacrylamide PAM is mainly used for flocculation and sedimentation of various industrial wastewater, and clarification and disposal of precipitation. Many friends have little knowledge of this type of polyacrylamide. Today, I will introduce the characteristics, efficacy, and usage of nonionic polyacrylamide PAM.

What are the different types of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

According to its ionic properties, PAM is divided into three main types: cationic (Cationic PAM, CPAM), anionic (Anionic PAM, APAM) and nonionic (Nonionic PAM, NPAM). These three types have significant differences in structure, function and application. 1. Cationic polyacrylamide (Cationic PAM, CPAM) Structure and properties:

Is non ionic polyacrylamide a water soluble polymer?

Non-ionic polyacrylamide is a water-soluble high molecular polymer or polyelectrolyte. The characteristics of nonionic polyacrylamide PAM can be simply divided into the following three points: It has relatively good water solubility and can be completely dissolved even in cold water.

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 is non ionic polyacrylamide used for?

Non-ionic polyacrylamide, when combined with cellulose, and added with certain chemical additives, is widely used as an oilfield profile control and water blocking agent. It is used as the basic raw material for soil moisturizers and various modified polyacrylamides.

Can cationic polyacrylamide flocculants be used in river water?

The amount of flocculant added is 1/50 of that of inorganic flocculants, but the effect is several times higher than that of inorganic flocculants. For river water with severe organic pollution, it is better to use inorganic flocculants in conjunction with cationic polyacrylamide flocculants.
