Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a highly versatile polymer with a broad spectrum of applications across various heavy industries. Among these, mining and papermaking stand out as sectors where PAM flocculant plays a vital role in enhancing operational efficiency and environmental management. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality PAM solutions tailored to the specific needs of these industries.

In the mining industry, efficient solid-liquid separation is critical for various processes, from clarifying process water to managing tailings. Polyacrylamide flocculant is extensively used as a settling and thickening agent. When added to slurries, PAM promotes the aggregation of fine mineral particles into larger, faster-settling flocs. This accelerates the sedimentation process, leading to clearer overflow water that can be reused, and denser underflow for easier dewatering and disposal of tailings. The ability to effectively separate solids from liquids using PAM is fundamental to reducing water consumption and minimizing the environmental footprint of mining operations.

Similarly, the papermaking industry relies heavily on PAM for improving process efficiency and product quality. PAM acts as a retention and drainage aid, helping to retain fine fibers, fillers, and pigments within the paper sheet during formation. This not only improves paper quality by enhancing strength and opacity but also reduces the loss of valuable materials into the white water system, leading to cost savings and reduced wastewater treatment loads. The enhanced drainage facilitated by PAM also speeds up the papermaking process, increasing throughput.

The effectiveness of PAM in these sectors stems from its ability to bridge particles through its long molecular chains. Depending on the specific application and the nature of the suspended solids, different types of PAM – anionic, cationic, or nonionic – can be selected for optimal performance. For instance, the charge of the particles in mining slurries or paper pulp will influence the choice of PAM type to achieve the most efficient flocculation and separation.
