Polyacrylamide can make water clear because it has the ability to flocculate particles and clarify water through a process called coagulation/flocculation.    When polyacrylamide is added to water, it forms a network or matrix-like structure due to its long polymer chains. These chains can...

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a water-soluble polymer commonly used in various industries, including wastewater treatment, agriculture, and mining. However, it is important to handle and use PAM safely to minimize any potential risks. Here are some safety considerations when working with polyacrylamide: &...

To synthesize high molecular weight polyacrylamide (PAM), you can follow the traditional method of free radical polymerization. Here's a step-by-step procedure:   1. Materials needed: Acrylamide (AM) monomer, a crosslinking agent (e.g., N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide), a free radical initiator (e....
