Preparation of Acrylamide Polymers

  • Conference paper
Water-Soluble Polymers

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((PST,volume 2))

Abstract

Acrylamide polymers have been available commercially since the early 1950s. The first important applications were as flocculants in the treatment of acid-leached uranium ores and as paper additives to increase dry strength. Numerous other applications have since been developed which can be summarized as follows:

  • Paper Chemicals: dry strength agents, retention aids, drainage aids;

  • Water Treatment: clarification and treatment of municipal and industrial effluents, potable water, foods, etc;

  • Oil Well Stimulation: fracturing, flooding;

  • Mineral Processing: flocculation of ores, tailings, coal, etc;

  • Miscellaneous: friction reduction, thickening, soil stabilization, gel chromatography and electrophoresis, photography, fog dissipation, breaking of oil-in-water emulsions, etc.
