  • Does polyacrylamide reduce soil erosion?
  • Soils treated with polyacrylamide maintain their original physical state in water erosion conditions. By stabilization of clay mineral aggregates by polymer adsorption, the water infiltration rate improvement and soil erosion reduction are observed.
  • What are the different types of polyacrylamide?
  • Polyacrylamides can be classified into nonionic, anionic, and cationic ones [4, 5]. Each of these types due to their properties is used in many industries, mainly in water treatment, mineral processing, or soil conditioning . Application areas of abovementioned polyacrylamide types depend on the specific function of the polymer needed.
  • What causes nonionic polyacrylamide adsorption?
  • Nonionic polyacrylamide adsorption on clay minerals is mainly caused by van der Waals forces , whereas cationic or anionic forms adsorb and bind soil particles through electrostatic forces or bridge formation between PAM charged moieties and solid surface group [1, 80].
  • How is cationic polyacrylamide obtained?
  • In the photoinitated polymerization method (Fig. 4), the cationic polyacrylamide is obtained by photoactivation of monomer solution. This synthesis technique is characterized by many advantages: operation simplicity, easy control, low cost, and obtained product has high purity [11, 12].
