1. Chemical properties of polyacrylamide

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a water-soluble high molecular polymer with good flocculation, thickening and adhesion properties. Its chemical properties determine its wide application in various industrial fields.

2. Application scenarios of different forms of polyacrylamide

Polyacrylamide is mainly available in two forms: powder and liquid, which are suitable for different application scenarios:

• Water treatment: used for drinking water purification and sewage treatment, with excellent flocculation effect.
• Papermaking: Used to enhance paper strength and improve paper quality during the papermaking process.
• Oil production: Used to reduce viscosity and improve oil recovery efficiency in tertiary oil recovery.

3. Usage and precautions

Things to note when using polyacrylamide include:

• Correct dosage: Adjust according to the specific environment to avoid overdosage or underdosage.
• Dissolution process control: Avoid long-term stirring to prevent degradation.
• Storage Conditions: Avoid moisture, heat and direct sunlight.

IV. Environmental Impact and Solutions

Although polyacrylamide is a relatively environmentally friendly material, the byproducts produced during its use may have an impact on the environment. Its environmental impact can be reduced by taking measures such as optimizing the formula, rational use and wastewater treatment.

V. Actual case analysis and data support

Actual cases show that by using polyacrylamide, the treatment efficiency of a sewage treatment plant has increased by 30%, while the production cost of a papermaking enterprise has decreased by 20%. These data prove the significant effect of polyacrylamide in improving efficiency and reducing costs.
