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....

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a synthetic polymer composed of repeating units of acrylamide. It is widely used as a flocculant, thickener, and binder in various industrial processes, including water treatment, papermaking, mining, and petroleum production. Here is an introduction to the physical and chemi...

To detect the solid content of polyacrylamide, you can follow the steps below:   1. Weigh an empty, clean, and dry container or crucible accurately and record its weight (W1). 2. Add a known amount of polyacrylamide sample to the container. 3. Place the container with the sample in an oven set...
