Polymerized Acrylamide Powder is used for flocculating solids in a liquid. This strategy applies to water treatment, and methodology like paper making and screen printing. It serves as a high molecular weight polymer suitable for sugarcane juice clarification and filtration of mud slurry that is especially designed for the food industry. It requires a lower dosage and helps in improving the juice clarity and enhances the rate of mud filtration.
It also helps in improving the sugar recovery from filter cake and also reduces consumption of alum in precipitation of color and colloidal matter.
The basic functions of Acrylamide are as follows:- Flocculation: Polymers frequently carry electrostatic charges that check surface atom parity achieving flocculation
- Adsorption: They have good adhering capacity with reversible covalent bonds between atom surfaces allowing them to increase in size and mass
- Friction Reduction: It successfully reduces friction. Friction loss is minimized by 50-80% with a little addition of the product
- Thickener: It is utilized to thicken a combination of mud in both neutral and acidic conditions
