The papermaking industry demands precision and efficiency at every stage. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recognizes the significant role Polyacrylamide (PAM) plays in optimizing these processes. As a high-performance polymer, PAM acts as a multifaceted additive, crucial for enhancing paper quality, improving slurry dewatering, and managing wastewater effectively.

In papermaking, PAM functions primarily as a retention aid and a drainage aid. Its ability to flocculate fine fibers and fillers means that more of these valuable components are retained within the paper sheet during formation. This not only leads to a better quality paper with improved strength and formation but also reduces the loss of materials into the white water system. By forming larger, more robust flocs, PAM also accelerates the dewatering process on the paper machine, allowing for faster production speeds and reduced energy consumption in drying.

The choice of PAM in papermaking is often dependent on the specific needs of the mill. While anionic PAM is commonly used for its effectiveness in retaining fine particles and fillers, other types may be employed for specific functions. For instance, medium molecular weight PAM is particularly effective as a retention and drainage aid. The mechanism involves PAM molecules adsorbing onto the surface of fibers and fillers, neutralizing surface charges and forming bridges between particles, thereby creating larger, more easily retained flocs.

Furthermore, PAM is instrumental in treating the wastewater generated by paper mills. The flocculation properties of PAM are utilized to remove residual fibers, fillers, and other suspended solids from the white water and mill effluent, reducing environmental pollution and enabling water recycling. This not only supports environmental compliance but also contributes to cost savings by reducing freshwater intake.
