Why is polyacrylamide important in wastewater treatment?

The correct use of polyacrylamide will contribute to improving municipal wastewater treatment results, protecting water resources, and achieving sustainable development. In the wastewater treatment industry, polyacrylamide has become an indispensable agent.

What are the applications of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

As a result, PAM is widely used in municipal wastewater treatment, oil extraction, pulp and paper production, and other fields. Polyacrylamide is mainly used in the flocculation, sedimentation, and dewatering processes in municipal wastewater treatment.

What is polyacrylamide used for?

Flocculate or coagulate solids in a liquid may be one of the largest uses for polyacrylamide which applies to wastewater treatment, and processes like paper making and screen printing. Polyacrylamide (PAM) can be supplied in a powder or liquid form, with the liquid form being subcategorized as solution and emulsion polymer.

What are the different types of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

YASA ET is supplier of three different kinds of PAM: non-ion polyacrylamide (NPAM), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), and anionic polyacrylamide (APAM). Click here to learn more. PAM chemical compounds are used to flocculate and coagulate suspended solids in water, wastewater, and soil.

Can polyacrylamide bind with cationic suspended solids?

It can bind with anionic suspended solids in the wastewater, forming flocs to promote solid-liquid separation. (2) Anionic polyacrylamide: Suitable for treating wastewater containing cationic suspended solids, such as mine wastewater and alkaline wastewater.

What is anionic polyacrylamide used for?

Anionic polyacrylamide can pick up positively charged particles (clay, sand), much like a magnet picks up nails and other metal objects. APAM can be widely used in waste water treatment of chemical industry, municipal sewage treatment, such as coal washing, mineral processing, metallurgy, iron and steel industry and electronic industry.
