  • Are polyacrylamide based friction reducers a slickwater hydraulic fracturing fluid?
  • Technol. 2018, 52, 1, 327–336 Polyacrylamide (PAM) based friction reducers are a primary ingredient of slickwater hydraulic fracturing fluids. Little is known regarding the fate of these polymers under downhole conditions, which could have important environmental impacts including decisions on strategies for reuse or treatment of flowback water.
  • What is polyacrylamide (PAM) used for?
  • npj Clean Water 1, Article number: 17 ( 2018 ) Cite this article High molecular weight (10 6 –3 × 10 7 Da) polyacrylamide (PAM) is commonly used as a flocculant in water and wastewater treatment, as a soil conditioner, and as a viscosity modifier and friction reducer in both enhanced oil recovery and high volume hydraulic fracturing.
  • Does anionic polyacrylamide improve coagulation-flocculation process?
  • Aguilar, M. I. et al. Improvement of coagulation-flocculation process using anionic polyacrylamide as coagulant aid. Chemosphere 58, 47–56 (2005). Muller, G., Fenyo, J. C. & Selegny, E. High molecular weight hydrolyzed polyacrylamides.
  • Does Pam solvated with Fe 3+ release acrylamide?
  • It was found that PAM solvated with Fe 3+ generated ppb levels of acrylamide after exposure to sunlight under acidic conditions (pH 6). They concluded that release of acrylamide would be insignificant at low levels of iron (<0.02 mg/L) under alkaline (7.5–8.5) conditions.
