Anionic Polyacrylamide, A-PAM (for paper-making)

Properties:

The negatively charged carboxyl groups of anionic polyacrylamide possess selective adsorption capabilities. Its molecular chains carry -COO groups that form ionic bonds with Al3+, Ca2+, and other ions on fiber surfaces. It can also form hydrogen bonds with hydroxyl groups, achieving crosslinking enhancement. Anionic polyacrylamide possesses ultra-high molecular weight (12~25 million). Its long-chain structure establishes a physical network between fillers and fine fibers. This network enhances primary retention rates by 8~15% and accelerate wet-end drainage. Anionic polyacrylamide (A-PAM) exhibits excellent water solubility and low viscosity. It dissolves completely in cold water within 30~45 minutes. After dissolution, it does not cause screen clogging or gelation. It is suitable for high-speed closed-loop addition in paper machines.

Application:

1. Dry Strength Agent

When added in tandem with alum (or polyaluminum chloride), APAM at 0.25~0.5 kg/t of paper can enhance ring crush and burst strength by 10~25%. It demonstrates particularly effective results with OCC and mixed waste paper.

2. Retention/Drainage Aid

Continuous addition of 0.1~0.3 kg/t upstream of the pulp pump, combined with cationic particles (e.g., colloidal silica) to form dual flocculation, can elevate first-stage retention from 65% to over 80% and improve wire drainage by 5~15%.

3. White Water Recovery Accelerator

Add 0.5~1.5 g/m3 to the inlet of flotation or sedimentation tanks. Achieves >90% SS removal, elevates clear water reuse rate to over 90%, and reduces clear water consumption by 0.5~1 m3/t of paper.

4. Paper Machine Wastewater Pretreatment

For wastewater containing high filler content and positively charged particles, first add 30~50 g/m3 aluminum salt followed by 1~2 g/m3 APAM. This produces large, rapidly settling flocs, achieving effluent SS < 50 mg/L and reducing subsequent biochemical load.

Usage:

1. Dissolution and Preparation

Concentration: 0.05%~0.1% (too low accelerates degradation; too high impairs solubility).

Water Quality: Use clean water < 300 μS/cm to prevent transient gelation of high-valent metals.

Equipment: Variable-frequency screw feeder + low-shear agitation (line speed 1~1.5 m/s). Dissolution tank material: 304 stainless steel or PE to avoid iron ion-catalyzed degradation.

2. Dosage Point Selection

Dry Strength/Retention Aid: After pressure screen, before headbox, with optimal residence time of 10~20s; first add alum (pH 4.5~5.5), then add APAM after 3~5s interval.

White Water Flotation: At wastewater pump suction inlet, utilizing pump impeller mixing to eliminate static mixers.

3. Dosage Optimization

Conduct laboratory pilot tests using beaker-dynamic drainage apparatus (DDJ) to determine optimal dosage range; on-site paper machine adjustments employ stepwise increment method (± 10%) to prevent floc regrinding and sheet uniformity deterioration from overdosage.

4. Differentiation from Cationic/Amphoteric PAM

APAM must be used in conjunction with cationic components (aluminum salts, cationic starch, CPAM, etc.) to achieve “electro-neutralization + bridging.” When used alone, negatively charged polymers exhibit extremely low retention rates on negatively charged fibers.

Package and Storage:

25Kg/bag(Powder), 25Kg/bag(Colloid), inner bag is PVC film, outer weaved plastic bags. Keep dry.
