NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is at the forefront of providing advanced chemical solutions for industrial water management. Industrial wastewater presents a complex array of challenges, from high turbidity and suspended solids to dissolved organic matter and sludge. Polyacrylamide (PAM), a highly effective synthetic polymer, plays a pivotal role in addressing these issues, significantly enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of wastewater treatment processes.

At its core, polyacrylamide functions as a flocculant. It works by aggregating fine suspended particles into larger, more substantial clumps, often referred to as flocs. This process is critical for effective solid-liquid separation. The long, chain-like molecules of PAM can span across multiple particles, binding them together through a mechanism known as bridging. This not only increases the size of the particles but also their density, causing them to settle out of the water column much more rapidly or to be more easily retained by filtration systems.

The versatility of PAM is a key reason for its widespread adoption. Depending on the specific characteristics of the wastewater being treated, different types of polyacrylamide are employed. Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is often used for wastewater containing positively charged particles and in neutral to alkaline conditions, common in many industrial settings. Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) is particularly effective for wastewater with negatively charged suspended solids and is highly valued for its role in sludge dewatering, helping to remove excess water from sludge to reduce its volume and disposal costs. Non-ionic polyacrylamide (NPAM) is beneficial in acidic conditions or when a milder flocculation effect is desired.

In the realm of sludge dewatering, polyacrylamide is indispensable. Sludge, a byproduct of many industrial processes, can be challenging and costly to dispose of. By applying CPAM, the water content of the sludge is significantly reduced, transforming a wet, difficult-to-handle material into a more compact, easier-to-manage cake. This process not only lowers transportation and landfill costs but also makes dewatered sludge more suitable for further processing, such as incineration or use as a soil amendment.

Beyond flocculation and dewatering, polyacrylamide finds applications in improving the retention of fine particles in processes like papermaking and in aiding mineral separation in the mining industry. Its ability to enhance viscosity also makes it useful in enhanced oil recovery operations, helping to improve the efficiency of oil extraction. For industries that rely heavily on clean water, such as ceramics and textiles, PAM ensures that process water is free from suspended impurities, protecting equipment and product quality.
