Polyacrylamide (PAM), as a high molecular polymer, is widely used in the mining and sand washing industries. Its main function is solid-liquid separation and thickening, which significantly improves resource recovery rate and processing efficiency.
In the mining industry, polyacrylamide promotes rapid solid-liquid separation of tailings by changing the settling properties of particles in the aqueous phase. Research shows that after using polyacrylamide, the recovery rate of solid matter increases by more than 30%, effectively reducing wastewater discharge and protecting the environment.
Similarly, during the sand washing process, polyacrylamide can increase the settling speed of sand and gravel, reduce the amount of water used in the sand washing process, and help reduce production costs. Its thickening properties make slurry handling more efficient, thereby increasing overall production efficiency.
Taken together, the application of polyacrylamide in the mining and sand washing industries not only improves efficiency, but also brings significant economic benefits to the company. Such a cost-effective solution makes it very popular in the market.
