Why is polyacrylamide used in paper industry?

Polyacrylamide (PAM) in paper industry is widely used as retention agent, filter aid, homogenizer, and water treatment agent and so on. Its function is to improve the quality of paper, improve the pulp dehydration performance, improve the retention of fine fibers and fillers, and reduce the consumption of raw materials and environmental pollution.

What is polyacrylamide (PAM)?

Polyacrylamide (PAM), a versatile water-soluble polymer, plays a pivotal role in enhancing various processes within the paper industry. From pulp production to wastewater treatment, PAM proves to be an indispensable chemical aiding in the optimization of paper manufacturing.

Can polyacrylamide be used as paper dispersant?

Polyacrylamide could be used as paper dispersant, paper residence filter aid. The paper fibers and fillers in pulp are hydrophobic and tend to flocculate into clusters. It is difficult to produce paper with uniform properties and good strength. The addition of polyacrylamide promotes the dispersion of paper fibers and the formation of paper.

What is polyacrylamide used for?

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. In food industry, it is used for cane juice clarification and syrup phosphorus floatation extraction in the production of cane sugar and beet sugar.

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.
