  • What type of polyacrylamide is used in oil industry?
  • The polyacrylamide use can be anionic, cationic, or nonionic with various ratios of the comonomers used in the case of the anionic and cationic polymers. The anionic polyacrylamides in the oil field industry are designated by the generic name of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA), although they are in actuality copolymers .
  • What are the application areas of polyacrylamide?
  • Several of the application areas are discussed briefly in the following. Very high-molecular-weight polyacrylamides (both anionic and cationic) are used extensively in the area of hydraulic fracturing or stimulation for the increased production of natural gas, shale gas, tight gas, tight oil, and coal seam gas.
  • How is partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide wastewater treated?
  • Yongrui, P., et al. Treatment of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide wastewater by combined Fenton oxidation and anaerobic biological processes. Chem. Eng. J. 273, 1–6 (2015).
  • What is an anionic polyacrylamide used for?
  • There is a wide range of uses for anionic polyacrylamides and these include wastewater treatments aids, retention aids, and strength agents in papermaking, hydraulic stimulation, and enhanced oil recovery in oil field applications, mineral processing, and as soil conditioners in agricultural uses.
