  • Do polyacrylamide preparations protect water quality from agricultural runoff contaminants?
  • I. Effect on the mechanical strength and stability and soil structure. Egypt J Soil Sci 219:51–56 Entry JA, Sojka RE, Watwood M, Ross C (2002) Polyacrylamide preparations for protection of water quality threatened by agricultural runoff contaminants.
  • Does Pam degradation affect flocculant performance?
  • PAM-based flocculant degradation has been mainly studied for PAMs in aqueous solutions. The degradation of PAMs results in a reduction of the molecular weight of the polymer and can adversely affect the performance of such aqueous solutions in their commercial application as flocculants.
