Frequently Asked Questions
What is Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) and what is its CAS number?
Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) is a high molecular weight synthetic polymer also known as Acrylamide Homopolymer or Propenamide Homopolymer. Its CAS number is 9003-05-8. It appears as white to faintly yellow granules and is widely used as a flocculant and coagulant in water treatment processes.
What industries commonly use APAM (Anionic Polyacrylamide)?
APAM is used across a broad range of industries including municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, papermaking, mining, textile manufacturing, chemical processing, and agriculture. Its strong flocculation and sedimentation properties make it suitable for treating complex wastewater streams in all these sectors.
What is the molecular weight range of APAM, and why does it matter?
APAM typically has a molecular weight range of 5 to 22 million. Higher molecular weight allows the polymer to form larger flocs during water treatment, improving the efficiency of sedimentation and filtration. The customizable ionic charge further allows tailored solutions for specific industrial wastewater compositions.
Is APAM environmentally safe and compliant with regulatory standards?
Yes. APAM has an environmentally safe profile and supports compliance with regulatory standards. It is non-decomposable into toxic monomers under normal conditions, has no poisoning or side effects, and carries certifications including ISO, SGS, and CE. Its low dosage requirements also minimize chemical consumption and ecological impact.
What is the difference between APAM, CPAM, and NPAM?
All three are forms of Polyacrylamide (PAM) with different ionic charges. APAM (Anionic) carries a negative charge with a hydrolysis degree of 10–50%, making it ideal for treating negatively charged suspended particles. CPAM (Cationic) carries a positive charge (5–60% hydrolysis) and is effective for sludge dewatering. NPAM (Nonionic) has minimal charge (0–5%) and is suitable for acidic environments.
How should APAM be dissolved and what is its dissolution time?
APAM granules (20–100 mesh) should be dissolved in clean water with slow, continuous stirring to form a uniform solution. The standard dissolution time is approximately 60 minutes. It is recommended to prepare a dilute solution (0.1%–0.3%) before dosing into the treatment system for optimal flocculation performance.
