  • What is polyacrylamide used for?
  • Polyacrylamide and its co-polymers are used as flocculants or coagulants in industrial wastewater treatment .Homo-polymer is used in this application and can be either nonionic, cationic or anionic depending on the types of wastewater needs to be treated. Also polyacrylamide can be prepared either as linear or as cross-linked.
  • How is an anionic polyacrylamide flocculant synthesized?
  • In this study, an anionic polyacrylamide flocculant was synthesized by ultrasonic initiated template copolymerization (USTP), using sodium allylsulfonate (SAS) and acrylamide (AM) as monomers, poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (polyDADMAC) as template, and 2,2′-azobis [2- (2-imidazolin-2-yl) propane] dihydrochloride (VA-044) as initiator.
  • What is anionic polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • Anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) possesses interconnected and active groups that establish robust bonds with the surface of suspended colloids, promoting the formation of coarse particles among the suspended solids and a mixture of insoluble particles in water (Irfan et al. 2017).
  • Why is anionic polyacrylamide chosen?
  • Anionic polyacrylamide is chosen because the intramolecular electrostatic repulsion between polymer segments forces the polymer chains to adopt a more extended conformation, increasing the efficiency of bridging flocculation.
