  • Can cationic polyacrylamide be used in oilfield wastewater treatment?
  • Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) solid particle is one of the most commonly used organic polymer flocculants in oilfield wastewater treatment, but it poses some problems, such as a slow dissolution rate and an easy formation into a “fish-eye” in the process of diluting into aqueous solution.
  • Are cationic polyacrylamide copolymers harmful to the environment?
  • Environ Sci Eur. 2018; 30 (1): 16. 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.
  • What is cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?
  • Cationic polyacrylamides (CPAMs) are widely utilized due to their excellent performance in flocculation and sludge dewatering [ 2 ]. Numerous studies have been conducted on CPAM synthesis technologies, including grafting, free radical polymerization, and polymer modification [ 3 ].
  • Why are cationic surfactants used in polyacrylamide adsorption?
  • This is due to the addition of cationic surfactants in the suspension, as cationic surfactants can assist the polyacrylamide adsorption of suspended particles in wastewater through electrostatic action, whereby the more negatively charged suspended particles are in wastewater, the more pronounced is this auxiliary flocculation effect [ 36 ].
