Anionic Polyacrylamide APAM is white powder. Its water solubility is good, can dissolve in any proportion of water and insoluble in organic solvents. Mainly used for flocculation and sedimentation treatment of various industrial wastewater, such as steel plant wastewater, electroplating plant wastewater, metallurgical wastewater, coal washing wastewater, and other sewage treatment. It can also be used to clarify and purify drinking water.
Application of APAM:
1.Polyacrylamide water treatment. It has the best effect on the treatment of neutral or alkaline sewage with thick suspended particles, high concentration, cations with positive charges, and with a PH value of 7-14. Such as iron and steel wastewater, electroplating plant wastewater, metallurgical wastewater, coal washing wastewater, and other sewage.
2.PAM water treatment. Many sources of domestic water come from rivers and lakes, with high sediment and mineral content. Although it is filtered by precipitation, it is still not up to standard. At this point, flocculant should be added. Using anionic polyacrylamide as a flocculant, the dosage is 2%-5% of the non-polar flocculant, but the effect is dozens of times that of inorganic solvent.

The product chain of amphoteric polyacrylamide has not only the negative charge of carboxyl group after hydrolysis of acrylamide, but also the positive charge of vinyl group. Therefore, a amphoteric irregular polymer with both positive and negative charges on the molecular chains is formed.
Because the amphoteric PAM molecule contains cationic and anionic groups. This makes it not only have the characteristics of general cationic flocculants, but also show more excellent performance. Amphoteric PAM flocculant is suitable for a wide range of PH value. At the same time, it has higher water filtration capacity and lower filter cake moisture content. In addition, it can be used for extraction of ore by leaching with strong acid or recovery of valuable metals from metal-containing acid catalysts.

- Reduce the amount of flocculant. Under the premise of achieving the same water quality, the combination use of PAM flocculant and other flocculants can greatly reduce the using amount.
- Improve water quality. In drinking water treatment and industrial wastewater treatment, the use of polyacrylamide powder and other inorganic flocculants can significantly improve water quality.
- Improve floc strength and settling velocity. The flocs formed by polyacrylamide flocculant have high strength and good settling performance. Thus, the speed of solid-liquid separation can be increased, which is neneficial to sludge dewatering.
- Anti-corrosion and anti-scaling of circulating cooling system. The reduction in the amount of inorganic flocculants can avoid the deposition of inorganic substances on the surface of the equipment, so as to slow down the corrosion and scaling of the equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions About PAM Chemical
Polyacrylamide PAM is a general term for polymers obtained from acrylamide homopolymers or copolymers with other monomers. It is one of the most widely used varieties of water-soluble polymers. Because the structural unit of PAM chemical contains an amide group, it is easy to form hydrogen bonds, which makes it with good water solubility and high chemical activity. At the same time, it is easy to obtain various modifications of branched or network structure through grafting or cross-linking. All the performances make it have a wide range of applications.
PAM for water treatment
PAM flocculant can be used in raw water treatment, sewage treatment, industrial water treatment. Used in conjunction with activated carbon in raw water treatment, it can be used for coagulation and clarification of suspended particles in domestic water. Using organic flocculant acrylamide instead of inorganic flocculant, the water purification capacity can be improved by more than 20% even without modification of the sedimentation tank.
Applications in Oil Recovery
Polyacrylamide is widely used in drilling, cementing, completion, workover, fracturing, acidizing, water injection, water plugging and profile control, and tertiary oil recovery operations in oil production. Polyacrylamide solution has high viscosity, good thickening, flocculation and rheological adjustment. So it is usually used as oil displacement agent and drilling mud conditioner in oil production. Adding polyacrylamide in tertiary oil recovery can increase the oil displacement capacity, avoid oil layer breakdown, and improve the recovery rate of oil beds.
Applications in Papermaking Field
In papermaking field, PAM chemical is widely used as retention aid, drainage aid, leveling gent, etc. It can help to improve the quality of paper, dewatering performance of pulp, retention rate of fine fibers and fillers, reduce consumption of raw materials and pollution to the environment. At the same time, used as a dispersant, it can improve the uniformity of paper.
The mechanism of action of PAM polyacrylamide in papermaking is that the particles in the slurry are retained on the filter cloth by flocculation by electric neutralization or bridging. The formation of flocs can also make the water in the slurry easier to filter out, reduce the loss of fibers in white water, reduce environmental pollution, and help improve the efficiency of equipment such as filtration and sedimentation.
- Flocculation performance. PAM chemical can make suspended substances neutralize by electricity, bridge adsorption, and thus play a flocculation effect.
- Adhesion properties. It can play a role in bonding through mechanical, physical and chemical effects.
- Resistance reduction. Polyacrylamide PAM can effectively reduce the frictional resistance of the fluid. Adding a small amount of PAM chemical to the water can reduce the resistance by 50-80%.
- Thickening property. PAM has thickening effect under neutral and acid conditions. When the pH value is above 10, polyacrylamide powder is more easily hydrolyzed. Thickening property will be more pronounced in a semi-reticular structure.
- Polyacrylamide powder can’t be directly added to sewage. It must be dissolved in water before use, and then use polyacrylamide solution for sewage treatment.
- Use clean water to dissolve PAM powder. Generally, just use water at room temperature, no need to heat it. However, the dissolution is very slow when the water temperature is lower than 5℃. Increasing the water temperature will speed up the dissolution rate, but above 40℃ will accelerate the degradation of the PAM polymer and affect use effects.
- In general, tap water is suitable for preparing polymer solution. Strong acid, strong alkali, high salt water are not suitable.
- Sealed storage. Prolonged exposure to air will result in poor product performance.
- Pay attention to moisture, heat and place in a dry, cool and ventilated warehouse.
