  • What is polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • Polyacrylamide (PAM) possesses unique characteristics, including high water solubility, elevated viscosity and effective flocculation capabilities. These properties make it valuable in various sectors like agriculture, wastewater treatment, enhanced oil recovery, and mineral processing industries, contributing to a continually expanding market.
  • What is water soluble polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • 1. Introduction Water-soluble polyacrylamide (PAM) is used in various industries as a displacement agent, drilling mud additive, and sewage treatment agent (Bao et al., 2010, Sojka et al., 2007). It is also widely used in the oil recovery industry in China, resulting in large amounts of PAM-polluted wastewater.
  • Can non-thermal plasma be used to treat polyacrylamide (PAM) wastewater?
  • In this work, non-thermal plasma has been applied to treat polyacrylamide (PAM) wastewater. We have investigated the influence of the rule of PAM wastewater initial pH, solution concentration and discharge time, discharge voltage on chemical oxygen demand (COD) degradation rate.
  • Why is polyacrylamide a problem in water treatment?
  • At the same time, a large amount of sewage containing polyacrylamide (PAM) was produced. This kind of sewage has a high degree of emulsification, high viscosity and serious environmental hazards. It is a difficult problem for water treatment in recent years [ 1, 2 ].
