  • Which reagent is used to degrade polyacrylamide in aqueous solution?
  • Ramsden, D. K. & McKay, K. Degradation of polyacrylamide in aqueous solution induced by chemically generated hydroxyl radicals: Part I-Fenton’s reagent. Polym. Degrad. Stab. 14, 217–229 (1986). Ramsden, D. K., & McKay, K.
  • What is polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a long chain, linear, water soluble polymeric substance formed from acrylamide (C 3 H 5 NO) subunits, has a high molecular weight of typically from few 1000 to 20 × 10 6 g/mol, and has a very high viscosity in aqueous solutions, depending on the concentration and the degree of polymerization (Sojka et al. 2007).
  • Does biological filtration improve polyacrylamide biodegradation?
  • Freedman, D. E. et al. Biologically active filtration for fracturing flowback and produced water treatment. J. Water Process Eng. 18, 29–40 (2017). Dai, X. et al. Waste-activated sludge fermentation for polyacrylamide biodegradation improved by anaerobic hydrolysis and key microorganisms involved in biological polyacrylamide removal.
  • Can polyacrylamide be bioremediated?
  • Although polyacrylamide (PAM) and its derivatives have many useful applications, their release in nature can have impacts on the environment and human health, thus bioremediation approaches for residual PAM are urgently needed.
