  • What is anionic polyacrylamide?
  • Anionic polyacrylamide is polymer with a large number of negatively charged moieties in the long chains of the PAM macromolecules. It can be obtained by partial hydrolysis of polyacrylamide neutral amide groups, which is shown in (3). This process occurs under moderate temperature by adding sodium hydroxide to the PAM solution [4, 6].
  • Is nonionic polyacrylamide hydrophilic?
  • Nonionic polyacrylamide has a strong hydrophilic character, greater than other nonionic, water-soluble polymers. Despite being described as nonionic synthetic polyacrylamides obtained as a result of polymerization or copolymerization of acrylamides, often contain in their macromolecules about 1–3% of anionic groups .
  • What causes nonionic polyacrylamide adsorption?
  • Nonionic polyacrylamide adsorption on clay minerals is mainly caused by van der Waals forces , whereas cationic or anionic forms adsorb and bind soil particles through electrostatic forces or bridge formation between PAM charged moieties and solid surface group [1, 80].
  • Is polyacrylic acid a product of Pam degradation?
  • Hayashi et al. (1994) suggested that the simple compound polyacrylic acid might be another product of PAM degradation under some conditions, which can also be metabolized by microorganisms.
