What is polyacrylamide (PAM)?

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a polymer formed from acrylamide subunits, it is long-chain polymer designed to attract either positively charged particles (organic materials, such as carbon or human waste) or negatively charged particles (inert materials, such as sand or clay).

What is poly acrylamide?

Polyacrylamides are high molecular weight water soluble polymers formed from acrylamide or its derivatives. It is a non-ionic and bio-compatible polymer that meets a broad range of applications. Poly Acrylamide increases the viscosity of water, encouraging the flocculation of particles present in water.

What are Pam chemical compounds used for?

PAM chemical compounds are used to flocculate and coagulate suspended solids in water, wastewater, and soil. They assist in management of the Earth’s soil and water. In the straight-chain form, it is also used as a thickener and suspending agent.

What is cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?

2. Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) This type of polymer has molecules that carry positive charge. Cationic PAM can pick up negatively charged particles (organic materials like carbon or human waste). CPAM is very efficient in usage and has high dehydration rate.

How polyacrylamide (PAM) is used in sewage treatment?

In sewage treatment, using polyacrylamide (PAM) can increase the recycling rate of water reuse. In petroleum extraction, polyacrylamide (PAM) is mainly used in drilling mud materials and for enhancing oil recovery, widely applied in drilling, well completion, cementing, fracturing, enhanced recovery, and other oil field extraction operations.

What is the abbreviation for polyacrylamide?

The abbreviation of Polyacrylamide is PAM, it is a chemical which purchased in dry, emulsion, liquid and tablet form. 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.
