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 in water treatment, papermaking, mining, and textile industries.
What are the main applications of APAM in industrial processes?
APAM is primarily used in wastewater and effluent treatment, including municipal and chemical manufacturing plants. It is also applied in papermaking, mining, and textile industries to enhance process efficiency. Additionally, it is suitable for gel electrophoresis and super-absorbent material applications due to its strong hydrogen bonding capacity with water molecules.
What is the difference between APAM, CPAM, and NPAM?
APAM (Anionic Polyacrylamide) has a molecular weight of 5–22 million and a hydrolysis degree of 10–50%, making it ideal for negatively charged suspended particles. CPAM (Cationic Polyacrylamide) has a molecular weight of ≥1.0 million with a hydrolysis degree of 5–60%, suited for organic sludge treatment. NPAM (Nonionic Polyacrylamide) has a molecular weight of 8–12 million and a hydrolysis degree of 0–5%, used in acidic or neutral wastewater conditions.
Is APAM environmentally safe and compliant with regulations?
Yes. APAM is environmentally friendly and non-decomposable into toxic monomers under normal conditions. It has no poisoning or side effects and supports compliance with regulatory standards including ISO, SGS, and CE certifications. Its low dosage requirements also help minimize chemical consumption and ecological impact.
How should APAM be dissolved and what are its physical specifications?
APAM granules (20–100 mesh) should be dissolved in water with a dissolution time of approximately 60 minutes. The solid content is 90% minimum. It is adaptable to a wide range of pH levels, temperatures, and water chemistries, ensuring reliable performance across diverse operating conditions.
Why is APAM considered a cost-effective choice for large-scale water treatment?
APAM's high molecular weight and customizable ionic charge allow tailored flocculation and sedimentation solutions that require very low dosages, reducing overall chemical consumption. Its robust performance in high-salinity and high-turbidity environments, combined with its eco-friendly profile, makes it a highly cost-effective and reliable solution for large-scale industrial and municipal water treatment operations.
