Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a polymer with a wide range of applications. It has an amide group on its molecular chain, which makes it an excellent performance in many industries such as water treatment, oil extraction, paper making, textiles, etc.

First, the principle

Polyacrylamide is formed by polymerization of acrylamide monomers. This process is usually carried out in an aqueous solution, and the initiator initiates the polymerization of acrylamide monomers to form polyacrylamide polymers. According to the different polymerization conditions, polyacrylamide with different molecular weights, different charge characteristics and different forms can be obtained.

2. Features

Solubility: PAM is easily soluble in water and dissolves quickly, which facilitates its application in many industries.

Viscosity: PAM aqueous solution has the characteristics of high molecular weight and high viscosity, so it can be used as a thickener to improve the viscosity of the solution.

Flocculancy: PAM can be used as a flocculant to quickly condense suspended particles into large particles through electrical neutralization and bridging, which is convenient for solid-liquid separation.

3. Use

Water treatment: As a flocculant, PAM is widely used in sewage treatment, drinking water treatment and other fields, which can effectively remove pollutants such as suspended solids, organic matter and heavy metal ions in water.

Petroleum extraction: As an oil displacement agent and water treatment agent, PAM can improve the recovery rate of oil extraction and reduce the cost of extraction.

Papermaking: As a retention aid, filter aid and reinforcing agent, PAM can improve the strength, whiteness and uniformity of paper, and improve the quality and production efficiency of paper.

Textile: As a sizing agent and printing and dyeing auxiliary, PAM can improve the printing and dyeing performance and feel of textiles, and improve the quality and added value of textiles.

In summary, polyacrylamide is a polymer with rich functions and a wide range of applications. When choosing polyacrylamide, it is best to select the most suitable product model after large-scale selection. As far as I know, Shouxin Environmental Protection is a company that can provide large-scale selection.
