Anionic Polyacrylamide is water-soluble polymers which is insoluble in most organic solvents, It presents high polymer electrolyte characteristics in neutral and alkaline mediums. With good flocculation, it can reduce the frictional resistance between the liquid and be widely used in mining industries and water treatment etc.
Application Fields
Industrial Wastewater & Flocculation
As a flocculating agent, mainly used in industrial solid-liquid separation process, including settlement, to clarify, concentrate and sludge dewatering processes. Applications for all the major sectors are: Urban Sewage Treatment, Paper, Food Processing, Petrochemical, Metallurgical Processing, Dyeing and the Sugar and all kinds of industrial wastewater treatment.
Paper Industry
In the paper industry can be used as dry strength agents, retention agent, filter aid. They can be greatly improved as paper quality, enhance the physical strength of paper and reduce the loss of fiber, can also be used in the treatment of white water at the same time, in the deinking process can play a significant flocculation.
Mining & Coal Industry
In the mining, coal mining industry can be used for waste water, coal washing waste water clarifier.
Oil Field Applications
Oil field profile controlling and water-plugging agent, matched with CMC and a certain amount of chemical adhesive added. It can be used as oil field profile controlling and water-plugging agent. Can also be used mud additive for EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) process to improve production of oil gas drilling chemical. In oil field, as a kind of mud additives. To increase the viscosity of water and improve the effectiveness of the water flooding process.
