What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam)?

Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is its negative charge, which makes it highly effective in a wide range of applications. Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is highly water-soluble, which means that it can be easily dissolved in water and other aqueous solutions. This makes it easy to use in various applications, such as in the treatment of 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.

Why do water treatment plants use polyacrylamide?

This allows water treatment plants to greatly improve the removal of total organic content (TOC) from raw water. Another common use of polyacrylamide and its derivatives is in subsurface applications such as Enhanced Oil Recovery.

Is Apam soluble in water?

APAM presents as white powder granules with a molecular weight ranging from 6 to 25 million. It exhibits excellent water solubility, dissolving seamlessly in water at any ratio while remaining insoluble in organic solvents.

Can NPAM be dissolved in cold water?

NPAM is highly water-soluble and can be completely dissolved in cold water. Therefore, adding a small amount of non-ionic polyacrylamide can obtain a good flocculation effect.

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.
