Polyacrylamide Flocculant

Chemical Formula:

(C₃H₅NO)ₙ

CAS Number:

9003-05-8

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a polymer made by polymerizing acrylamide monomers. It is widely used as a flocculant in water treatment and various industrial processes. Polyacrylamide flocculants are used to aggregate particles in water and aid in the separation of solids from liquids.

Characteristics

Molar Weight

Varies depending on polymer length (can range from 5,000 to 20,000,000 g/mol)

Melting Point

Does not have a well-defined melting point due to its polymeric nature; it decomposes at around 270°C (518°F).

Boiling Point

Not applicable, as polyacrylamide decomposes before reaching its boiling point.

Solubility

Soluble in water, forming a gel-like solution.

Density

Approximately 1.3 to 1.4 g/cm³ (for solid form)

Forms

Polyacrylamide flocculants are typically available in powder or granular form. They can also be in emulsified liquid form depending on the application.

Odor

Usually odorless or faintly aromatic depending on the impurities and grade of the product.

USES AND APPLICATIONS

Key applications

  • Water treatment: Used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment to aid in sedimentation, clarification, and removal of suspended solids.
  • Mining industry: Used for the separation of minerals in mineral processing.
  • Oil and gas industry: Used in drilling operations and for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
  • Papermaking: Used to improve drainage and retention in paper production processes.
  • Textile industry: Used for water clarification and as a retention agent.
  • Agriculture: Used in soil conditioning and erosion control in agricultural applications.
