Polyacrylamide is a common polymer that can be decomposed into cations and anions. The properties and uses of polyacrylamide cations and anions are very different.
Cationic polyacrylamide has a strong adsorption capacity and can adsorb organic matter, heavy metal ions, etc. in water to purify water. Cationic polyacrylamide also has good gelling properties and can be used in the fields of oil extraction, pulp and paper making, and building materials.
Polyacrylamide anions have good dispersibility and thickening properties in aqueous solutions and can be used as pigments, adhesives, suspending agents, etc. Anionic polyacrylamide also has a certain adsorption capacity and can adsorb and encapsulate minerals and other substances for use in ore dressing and environmental management.
Since cations and anions have different properties, their application fields are also very different. Cationic polyacrylamide is mainly used in water treatment, pulp and paper, oil extraction and building materials. Anionic polyacrylamide is mainly used in pigments, adhesives, suspending agents, ore dressing and environmental management.
