water treatment chemicals: polyacrylamide-pam for waste in brazil
High molecular weight (106–3 × 107 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
Polyacrylamide is ideal for protein separations because it is chemically inert, electrically neutral, hydrophilic, and transparent for optical detection at wavelengths greater than 250 nm. Additionally, the matrix does not interact with the solutes and has a low affinity for common protein stains.
