What is a high molecular weight polyacrylamide (PAM)?

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. At present, anionic PAM is most used in the paper industry.

What is cationic Pam used for?

Cationic PAM: It is very efficient in usage and has high dehydration rate. It is used for the waste water treatment in alcohol factory, monosodium glutamate factory, sugar factory, beverage factory, tanneries, dyeing and other fields. It has a better effect to be used together with inorganic coagulant in particular.

What is cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?

Cationic Polyacrylamide. In general, CPAM is white powder in appearance with an ionic degree ranging from 20% to 55%. It has the characteristics of high polymer electrolyte and is suitable for the treatment of wastewater with negative charge and rich in organic matter.

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.

Is Pam a corrosive substance?

PAM is a dry white or light yellow powder similar in shape to table salt. It readily dissolved in water to form a viscous, colorless solution. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-hazardous, and easily decomposes into its base elements of Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen at temperatures more than 120°C.

Can polyacrylamide flocculant improve water purification capacity?

Using organic polyacrylamide flocculant instead of inorganic flocculant, even don’t modify the sedimentation tank, it can increase water purification capacity by more than 20%. In sewage treatment, the use of PAM flocculant can increase the utilization rate of water recycling and can also be used for sludge dewatering.
