Description and Purpose
PAM increases the soil’s available pore volume, thus increasing infiltration and reducing the quantity of stormwater runoff that can cause erosion. Suspended sediments from PAM treated soils exhibit increased flocculation over untreated soils.
The increased flocculation...
Polyacrylamide (abbreviated PAM), with the formula -[CH2CH]nCONH2-, is a polymer formed from the polymerization of acrylamide monomers.
Polyacrylamides are classified as non-ionic (NPAM), cationic (CPAM), anionic (APAM) and Amphionic (Amphionic PAM).
Polyacrylamide application:
Polyacrylamide...
Polyacrylamide according to ionic characteristics can be divided into non-ionic, anionic, cationic polyacrylamide types. According to the molecular weight to have different specifications of molecular weight, ionic degree and so derived a lot of models, in the face of the market messy specifications...
1. Water treatment field
Water treatment includes raw water treatment, sewage treatment and industrial water treatment. It can be used in combination with activated carbon in raw water treatment to coagulate and clarify suspended particles in domestic water. If organic flocculant acrylamide i...
Acrylamide is a colorless crystalline chemical, an unsaturated amide, which is widely used in industry. It is also the main chemical raw material for the production of polyacrylamide, and is widely used in water purification treatment, pulp processing, pipeline coating and other industries.

PAM structural differences
Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM): It is a linear polymer compound. Because it has a variety of active groups, it can form hydrogen bonds with many substances through affinity and adsorption. Mainly flocculates negatively charged colloids.
Anionic polyacrylamide...
Water treatment flocculants are chemical substances used to aid in the removal of suspended solids, organic matter, and other impurities from water during the clarification or filtration process. These flocculants promote the aggregation of fine particles into larger, settleable flocs, making it eas...
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is commonly in sludge dewatering processes due to its excellent flocculation and dewatering properties. Sludge dewatering is a crucial step in wastewater treatment and other industries where sludge is generated.
Here are some applications of polyacrylamide in sludge dewat...
