  • What is water soluble polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • 1. Introduction Water-soluble polyacrylamide (PAM) is used in various industries as a displacement agent, drilling mud additive, and sewage treatment agent (Bao et al., 2010, Sojka et al., 2007). It is also widely used in the oil recovery industry in China, resulting in large amounts of PAM-polluted wastewater.
  • What is polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • Polyacrylamide (PAM) possesses unique characteristics, including high water solubility, elevated viscosity and effective flocculation capabilities. These properties make it valuable in various sectors like agriculture, wastewater treatment, enhanced oil recovery, and mineral processing industries, contributing to a continually expanding market.
  • How dangerous is polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • 4.1.1. Polyacrylamide (PAM) As PAM is extensively used in our daily lives, it is essential to be aware of its potential hazards. Studies have indicated that PAM exhibits low or non-toxicity to humans, primarily due to the large sizes of polymers, which restrict their ability to penetrate the skin.
  • Are cationic polyacrylamide copolymers bad for the environment?
  • Cationic polyacrylamide copolymers (PAMs) are used for sludge dewatering in municipal waste water treatment and might enter the environment by spreading of the sludge on agricultural land. Concern has been expressed since little is known about the degradation of PAMs in soils.
