  • What are acrylamide and polyacrylamide used for?
  • Acrylamide and polyacrylamide (PAM) are used in diverse industrial processes, mainly the production of plastics, dyes, and paper, in the treatment of drinking water, wastewater, and sewage. Besides inorganic form, acrylamide is formed naturally in certain starchy foods that were heated to cook a temperature above 120 °C for elongated time.
  • Can anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) be used to treat animal waste?
  • The application of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) to soils and/or vegetative treatments may also provide a cost-effective way to dramatically reduce bacteria and nutrient loads in animal waste effluent and thereby reduce pollution in surface and ground waters receiving these effluents.
  • What is water soluble anionic polyacrylamide (PAM)?
  • Water soluble anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) was found to be a highly effective erosion-preventing and infiltration-enhancing polymer, when applied at rates of 1–10 g m −3 in furrow irrigation water. Water flowing from PAM treated irrigation furrows show large reductions in sediment, nutrients and pesticides.
