Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a polymer compound that belongs to the polymer class. The compound is obtained by polymerization of acrylamide monomers.
The molecular structure of PAM is as follows:
PAM is a colorless and odorless crystal that can be dissolved in water. When dissolved, the PAM molecule forms hydrogen bonds with the water molecule, increasing the viscosity and viscosity of the solution.
PAM has good thermal stability and can maintain the stability of its chemical structure at higher temperatures.
PAM has a wide range of applications in the field of water treatment. It can quickly condense and settle the suspended solids particles in the water through bridging and aggregation, so as to achieve water clarification and purification.
PAM is widely used in water flooding and polyflooding operations in oil extraction. It has the functions of increasing viscosity, protecting oilfield reservoirs, reducing well resistance, etc., and improving oil exploitation efficiency.
PAM can be used as a soil amendment to improve soil structure, increase soil water and fertilizer retention, and reduce water and nutrient loss.
PAM can be used for wetting, disinfection, flame retardant and softening in textile processing.
PAM can also be used in papermaking, electroplating, electrolysis, resin, mineral flotation and other fields, which has the advantages of improving product quality and production efficiency.
Polyacrylamide is a polymer compound with good solubility, thermal stability and wide application. It plays an important role in water treatment, oil extraction, agriculture, textiles, and other fields. By using PAM, goals such as efficient use of resources, environmental protection, and improved production efficiency can be achieved.
