Polyacrylamide (PAM) is widely used in dewatering lime alum sludge and recovering water due to its excellent flocculating properties. Here's how it is applied:

1. Flocculation: PAM acts as a flocculant, aggregating fine particles in the lime alum sludge into larger flocs. This process enhances the separation of solids from liquids, making it easier to dewater the sludge.

2. Improving Settling Rates: By promoting the formation of larger flocs, PAM improves the settling rates of the sludge in sedimentation tanks. This leads to a more efficient solid-liquid separation process.

3. Enhancing Dewatering Efficiency: The use of PAM in sludge dewatering equipment, such as centrifuges, belt filter presses, or screw presses, increases the efficiency of water removal. This results in a higher solids content in the dewatered sludge and reduces the volume of sludge that needs to be disposed of.

4. Water Recovery: As PAM aids in effectively separating solids from liquids, the water recovered during the dewatering process is often clearer and of higher quality. This recovered water can then be reused within the treatment process or for other purposes, reducing the demand for fresh water.

5. Dosage Optimization: The effectiveness of PAM depends on its dosage and molecular weight. Optimizing these parameters is crucial for achieving the best dewatering results and minimizing chemical usage.

Anionic Polymer Water Treatment

Anionic polymers can be utilized in a range of water treatment applications, including:

Blufloc Anionic Polymer Water Treatment Description:

1. Anionic Polyacrylamide can be used widely for Water treatment, oil drilling, Soil Stabilization, and Cement making.
2. It is a water-soluble polymer formed from acrylamide (a compound with the molecular formula C3H5NO) subunits.
3. Anionic Polyacrylamide has a big range of high molecular weight from 05-25 million, with an anionic charge density ranging from 10-60%.
4. It is most often used to increase the viscosity of water (creating a thicker solution) or to encourage the flocculation of particles present in water.
5. Soluble in water, safe, non-toxic, hydrolytic stable, is not sensitive to the change of pH value and is anti-chlorine. Harmless, non-flammable, and non-explosive, it can be stored at room temperature, and it cannot be placed in the sun. It is slightly acidic, when skin contact, wash it immediately with plenty of water.
