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 be used in wastewater treatment?

Testing is always applied before formal using polyacrylamide in wastewater treatment. If the amount is too low, the product does not work, and if the amount is too high, there will be opposite reaction.

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.

What is polyacrylamide/polyelectrolyte (Pam)?

Polyacrylamide/Polyelectrolyte (PAM) is water-soluble polymers, insoluble in most organic solvents, has good flocculation, can reduce the frictional resistance between the liquids, according to… With unique decolorization ability, it is mainly used in the decolorization of high-chroma wastewater from dye plants.

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 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.
