Anionic polyacrylamide and cationic polyacrylamide

2025-11-19
Polyacrylamide is a water-soluble linear polymer polymer formed by free radical-initiated polymerization of acrylamide monomer, which has good flocculation and can reduce the frictional resistance between liquids. Anionic and cationic polyacrylamide have the properties of polymer organic polymers. The two are mostly used as flocculants in sewage treatment, but their utility principles and effects will be different. Appearance difference Anionic and cationic polyacrylamide both have white granules and emulsions. The white granular form is almost indistinguishable with the naked eye, but the emulsion is different, the anionic type emulsion is whitish, while the cationic type emulsion has a faint blue color. Molecular weight difference The molecular weight of anionic polyacrylamide ranges from 4 million to 25 million; The molecular weight of cationic polyacrylamide ranges from 7 million to 12 million. Indicator difference The main indicators of anionic polyacrylamide are molecular weight and hydrolysis degree; The main indicators of cationic polyacrylamide are ionic degree and molecular weight. cpam4 Differences in use Anionic polyacrylamide uses (1) Mainly used as flocculant: for suspended particles, coarse, high concentration, particles with positive charge, water PH value is neutral or alkaline sewage, because the anionic polyacrylonyl molecular chain contains a certain amount of polar function to adsorb solid particles suspended in water, so that the particles bridge to form a large flocculate. Therefore, it accelerates the sedimentation of particles in suspension, has a very obvious clarification of fast solution, and promotes filtration and other effects. The product is mainly used to treat inorganic wastewater, such as chemical industry wastewater, waste liquid treatment; Municipal sewage treatment, tap water industry, high turbidity water purification, clarification, coal washing, mineral processing, metallurgy, iron and steel industry, zinc, aluminum processing industry, electronics industry and other water treatment. (2) It is widely used in petroleum industry, oil production, drilling mud, waste mud treatment, preventing water channeling, reducing friction, improving oil recovery, and tertiary oil recovery. (3) Used as a textile sizing agent, the slurry performance is stable, the slurry is small, the fabric decapitation rate is low, and the cloth surface is smooth. (4) Used in the paper industry, the first is to improve the retention rate of fillers, pigments, etc. To reduce the loss of raw materials and pollution to the environment; The second is to improve the strength of the paper (including dry strength and wet strength), in addition, the use of PAM can also improve the tear resistance and porosity of the paper to improve visual and printing performance, and is also used in food and tea packaging paper. (5) As a binder, it can be used in the incense making process, and the incense produced has a good appearance and high strength. Cationic polyacrylamide uses It is positively charged in acidic and alkaline media, and usually has a lower molecular weight than anionic or nonionic polyacrylamide, and its performance in clarifying sewage is mainly obtained by charge neutralization. The function of this type of flocculant is mainly to have a negative charge for flocculation, which has the functions of deturbidity and decolorization. The use of cationic polyacrylamide in organic wastewater treatment such as alcohol factories, monosodium glutamate factories, sugar factories, meat product factories, beverage factories, printing and dyeing factories, municipal sewage and other organic wastewater is several times or dozens of times more effective than anionic polyacrylamide, nonionic polyacrylamide or inorganic salts, because such wastewater generally has a negative charge. Cationic polyacrylamide is suitable for special sludge dewatering machinery such as high-speed centrifuges, belt filter presses, plate and frame filter presses, etc., which has the characteristics of fast floc formation, thick flocculation, extrusion and shear resistance, good agglomeration, and easy peeling from the filter cloth. Therefore, the dehydration rate is high, the liquid content of the filter cake is low, and the amount is small, which can greatly reduce the cost of user use. It can also be used for hydrochloric acid, medium-concentration sulfuric acid and other liquids to separate and purify the suspended substances contained in them.
