Polyacrylamide (PAM) Product Details
Product Description
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a high-performance water-soluble polymer used in a wide range of industries for various applications, particularly in water treatment. It is commonly used as a flocculant in water and wastewater treatment processes, as well as in the oil recovery, papermaking, textile, and mining industries. PAM is available in both anionic, cationic, and non-ionic forms, offering flexibility to cater to different needs. It improves the performance of industrial processes by effectively aiding in solid-liquid separation, enhancing the settling of solids, and improving filtration efficiency.
Production Process
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is synthesized through the polymerization of acrylamide monomers. The process includes:
- Monomer Preparation: Acrylamide monomers are first prepared by polymerization.
- Polymerization: The acrylamide monomers undergo polymerization, typically initiated by chemical agents or ultraviolet light, resulting in the formation of polyacrylamide chains.
- Molecular Weight Control: The molecular weight of the polymer is controlled during the polymerization process, affecting the viscosity and performance of the final product.
- Formulation: Depending on the required application, the polymer is cross-linked and modified to produce anionic, cationic, or non-ionic variants.
- Purification and Drying: After polymerization, the PAM is purified to remove unreacted monomers and then dried into either powder or granular form, depending on the intended use.
