Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) – Powder
Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) is a high-performance, water-soluble polymer characterized by its positive ionic charge. This unique property makes it an essential additive in numerous industrial processes, particularly in wastewater treatment, paper manufacturing, and the oil and gas sector. CPAM is known for its ability to enhance flocculation, coagulation, and water clarification, improving overall operational efficiency.
Chemical Formula
[-CH₂-CH(CONH₂)]ₘ – [-CH₂-CH(CNR₃⁺)]ₙ
R₃ represents the cationic group responsible for the polymer’s positive charge.
Applications
- Wastewater Treatment:
Cationic Polyacrylamide plays a critical role in the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. It binds with negatively charged particles, forming larger flocs that settle quickly, allowing for efficient sludge dewatering and water clarification. Typical applications include:- Municipal sewage plants.
- Industrial effluents from textile, chemical, and food industries.
- Sludge treatment in biogas plants.
- Paper and Pulp Industry:
CPAM enhances the performance of paper machines by improving retention, drainage, and paper strength. It helps reduce the loss of fine fibers and fillers, resulting in better-quality paper and increased production efficiency. - Oil and Gas Sector:
- Acts as a stabilizer and viscosifier in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods.
- Improves fluid mobility and reduces water-oil separation challenges.
- Mining Industry:
CPAM facilitates solid-liquid separation, reducing water consumption and improving tailings management in mineral processing.
Key Properties
- High charge density ensures strong interactions with negatively charged particles.
- High molecular weight for enhanced performance in industrial applications.
- Rapid solubility in water, making it easy to use in large-scale operations.
Packaging and Storage
- Packaging: 25 kg kraft paper bags with an inner plastic liner. Custom packaging sizes are available upon request.
- Shelf Life: 2 years under recommended storage conditions.
- Transportation: Classified as non-dangerous goods, ensuring safe and easy handling.
