2. The physical properties and characteristics of PAM

(1)Physical Properties: Molecular Formula (CH2CHCONH2) r

Structure of formula (CH2-CH0) n

PAM is a linear high polymer, it is soluble in water, almost insoluble in benzene, esters, acetone and other common organic solvents, its aqueous solution is almost transparent viscous liquid, non-dangerous goods, non-toxic, non-corrosive solid PAM hygroscopicity, the suction temperature increases with increasing ionic degrees, good PAM thermal stability, good stability was heated to 100oC, but 150oC more easily decomposed to produce nitrogen gas, occurs in the intermolecular imine of effect without water-soluble, density (g) the ml 23oC1.302. The glass transition temperature of 153oC, PAM under stress exhibit non-Newtonian flow properties.

(2)the characteristics of polyacrylamide

1) flocculation: PAM suspended matter can call in and through, the bridging adsorption from the flocculation.

2) Adhesion: through mechanical, physical and chemical effects, from the bonding effect.
3) reduction in resistance: PAM can effectively reduce the frictional resistance of the fluid, trace PAM can be added to the water 50-80% reduction in resistance
4) thickening: PAM had thickening effect in neutral and acidic conditions, pH values ​​above 10oC PAM easy hydrolysis. The thickening was half mesh structure will be more obvious.
PAM role Principle Introduction
1) PAM used for flocculation, with the kinds of surface properties of the flocs, especially the dynamic potential, viscosity, turbidity, and suspension pH value, the zeta potential of the surface of the particles, particles polymerization reason to join the surface charge opposite PAM, liquid potential reduced cohesion.
2) adsorption bridging:
PAM molecular chain is fixed on the different surfaces of the particles, each particle is formed between the polymer bridges, and that the particles form aggregates and sedimentation.
3) surface adsorption
Various adsorption of the polar groups on the particles in the PAM molecules.

4) enhance the role of


PAM molecular chain and decentralized communication role of various mechanical, physical, chemical, and the dispersed phase implicated together to form a network, which in turn has enhanced the role.

PAM synthesis and process
PAM: polyacrylamide generated by the direct reaction of acrylonitrile with water in the skeleton copper catalyst via ion exchange polymerization drying processes that of finished craft Profile follows:
