The application of polyacrylamide in plastic factories

2025-11-28
The application of plastic products has expanded alongside the rapid development of industries such as automotive manufacturing, high-end furniture production, and IT. Consequently, the volume of plastic wastewater generated has also increased significantly. The primary component in plastic production is resin. Plastics, in essence, are synthetic resins. Unlike natural resins, these substances are artificially synthesized through chemical processes. 159188353 The primary source of wastewater from plastic factories is the recycling and cleaning effluent from various plastic products, such as mineral water bottles, dairy containers, and the indispensable edible oil drums and bottles in our daily lives. These plastic wastewater streams contain significant amounts of oil, detergents, alkaline substances, COD, SS, and other pollutants. Their composition is highly complex and diverse, making treatment extremely challenging. Conventional processes struggle to meet regulatory standards. The primary wastewater treatment chemical currently used in plastic manufacturing plants is anionic polyacrylamide. Its function is to: Flocculation Mechanism: When anionic polyacrylamide is used for flocculation, its effectiveness is influenced by the properties of impurities in plastic wastewater, particularly the zeta potential, viscosity, turbidity, and pH of the suspension. The zeta potential on particle surfaces prevents aggregation. Adding PAM with opposite surface charges reduces this zeta potential, facilitating flocculation. Adsorption bridging: Anionic polyacrylamide molecular chains attach to the surfaces of different particles, forming polymer bridges between them. This causes the particles to aggregate and settle. Surface adsorption: The polar groups on anionic polyacrylamide molecules can adsorb oils and detergent components present in plastic wastewater. The main products of flocculant manufacturer Xinhuan Water Treatment are: White polyaluminium chloride (food grade), drinking grade polyaluminium chloride, industrial grade polyaluminium chloride, anionic polyacrylamide, cationic polyacrylamide, nonionic polyacrylamide, petroleum recycling polyacrylamide, oil recovery polyacrylamide, polyacrylamide, polymer flocculant polymer flocculation coagulant, polymeric ferrous sulphate, polymerized iron and aluminium chloride, and other water treatment chemicals.
