  • What is cationic polyacrylamide (C-PAM)?
  • Cationic polyacrylamide (C-PAM), copolymerized from acrylamide and substituted acrylate or acrylamide segments, offers an alternative to PHPA and exhibits high stability under high TDS conditions 28.
  • Can cationic polyacrylamide flocculants be used to treat oily water?
  • Shu, G., Bu, K., Zhao, B. & Zheng, S. Evaluation of newly developed reverse demulsifiers and cationic polyacrylamide flocculants for efficient treatment of oily produced water. Colloids Surf. A 610, 125646 (2021). This work was supported by grants from the “Qihang Program” of the Southwest Petroleum University (2025QHZ001) awarded to C.Z.
  • What is hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM)?
  • Hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), a derivative resulting from the hydrolysis of PAM, demonstrates significant thickening capabilities in freshwater and at relatively lower temperatures (<75 °C) due to strong intra- and inter-chain electrostatic repulsion of carboxylate groups 14.
  • How do cations affect the hydrolysis of Pam/HPAM polymers?
  • These cations not only can form complexes (gels or precipitates) with the carboxylic groups with HAPM to alter their rheological and phase properties, they can also catalyze the amide hydrolysis reaction to increase the degree of hydrolysis of PAM/HPAM polymers.
