  • Is polyacrylamide a comonomer?
  • Polyacrylamide (PAM) is the basis for most commercial polymeric flocculants mentioned in the literature (anionic, cationic, or non-ionic); this polymer is also modifiable with combinations of comonomers.
  • Why is anionic polyacrylamide chosen?
  • Anionic polyacrylamide is chosen because the intramolecular electrostatic repulsion between polymer segments forces the polymer chains to adopt a more extended conformation, increasing the efficiency of bridging flocculation.
  • How is an anionic polyacrylamide flocculant synthesized?
  • In this study, an anionic polyacrylamide flocculant was synthesized by ultrasonic initiated template copolymerization (USTP), using sodium allylsulfonate (SAS) and acrylamide (AM) as monomers, poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (polyDADMAC) as template, and 2,2′-azobis [2- (2-imidazolin-2-yl) propane] dihydrochloride (VA-044) as initiator.
  • Can polycarbonate & polyacrylic acid be used for flocculation?
  • When employing each polymer specifically, Al Dawery demonstrated that combining a blend of polycarbonate and polyacrylic acid for flocculation results in improved liquid clarity. The combination of flocculants could raise the sludge volume index by 70%, compared to 40% in the case of polycarbonate alone.
