  • Does anionic polyacrylamide improve coagulation-flocculation process?
  • Aguilar, M. I. et al. Improvement of coagulation-flocculation process using anionic polyacrylamide as coagulant aid. Chemosphere 58, 47–56 (2005). Muller, G., Fenyo, J. C. & Selegny, E. High molecular weight hydrolyzed polyacrylamides.
  • Can polyacrylamide flocculation be used for alum coagulation?
  • There is a growing interest in the use of ultrafiltration (UF) for the treatment of micro-polluted surface waters for drinking water supplies. Effective pretreatment is required to mitigate membrane fouling and in this paper we have evaluated the application of polyacrylamide (PAM) flocculation with alum coagulation.
  • What polymers are used for flocculation?
  • Many polymers used for flocculation are natural in origin (proteins, gums, starch, tannins, and alginates), but recently, synthetic polymers have proved successful, and these are often based on polyacrylamide. They have a range of molecular weight (about 10 5 –10 6) with fairly well defined degrees of anionic, cationic, or nonionic characters.
  • How do cationic polymers form floc?
  • For high molecular cationic polymer, the hydrolyzed cationic groups electrostatically adsorb and neutralize some of the negative charges on the particles, so that they form floc by electrostatic bridging with the remaining negative charged sites as shown in Fig. 7.10.
