  • Is poly-DADMAC a coagulant?
  • Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Deceased. Poly-DADMAC (PD) is a commonly used organic polymer in water treatment, known for its effectiveness as a coagulant. However, its presence as a residue in water raises concerns related to membrane fouling and the potential formation of carcinogenic compounds.
  • Can poly-DADMAC be quantified in coagulation treatment samples?
  • Quantification of Poly-DADMAC in Coagulation Treatment Samples The method’s applicability in practical field conditions was assessed by determining residual PD concentrations in cyanobacteria-contaminated water and cowshed effluents during coagulation and clarification treatments.
  • Can natural polymers replace alum & PolyDADMAC?
  • Natural polymers (derived from corn and tapioca starch) were evaluated as replacements for treatment with alum plus polyDADMAC at a midwestern US water treatment facility. Factors evaluated included settled water turbidity, residuals production, and thickening and dewatering characteristics of resulting clarifier residuals.
  • Which cationic treatment polymers produce more NDMA?
  • Cationic treatment polymers (e.g., polyamines, polyacrylamide (PAM), and polyDADMAC) are used as coagulants or dewatering aids in drinking water treatment and increase NDMA formation upon chloramination ( Krasner et al., 2012; Padhye et al., 2011; Wilczak et al., 2003 ). Park et al. (2009) found that polyamines produce more NDMA than polyDADMAC.
