  • 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 is polyacrylamide used for?
  • Polyacrylamide and its co-polymers are used as flocculants or coagulants in industrial wastewater treatment .Homo-polymer is used in this application and can be either nonionic, cationic or anionic depending on the types of wastewater needs to be treated. Also polyacrylamide can be prepared either as linear or as cross-linked.

  • What is polyacrylamide (PAM) used for?
  • npj Clean Water 1, Article number: 17 ( 2018 ) Cite this article High molecular weight (10 6 –3 × 10 7 Da) polyacrylamide (PAM) is commonly used as a flocculant in water and wastewater treatment, as a soil conditioner, and as a viscosity modifier and friction reducer in both enhanced oil recovery and high volume hydraulic fracturing.
