How to Control Polyacrylamide Viscosity

The viscosity of polyacrylamide aqueous solution is influenced by the solution viscosity, ph value, shear rate and the relative molecular polymer. 

Polyacrylamide solution viscosity and concentration are similar to the logarithmic relationship. High molecular weight polyacrylamide concentration is difficult to deal with when the concentration is over 8%. Increasing the temperature could decrease the viscosity, but the effect is not significant.

The viscosity of nonionic polyacrylamide solution is not affected by the pH value. However, when the PH value is over 9, the viscosity of polyacrylamide is quickly increased due to hydrolysis. At this time, the impact of PH value was revealed. Pure polyacrylamide is easy to hydrolyze. In the aqueous solution, when the PH value from acid to alkaline range, the non-ionic amide to anionic carboxyl, carboxyl negatively charged and produce repulsion, resulting in macromolecule stiffness, increasing the friction between molecules, viscosity and thus significantly to increase this phenomenon. This only happens in the solution after a period of time. In the solution after 3h action measured viscosity cannot see this phenomenon.

Polyacrylamide is a non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits pseudoplasticity under shear conditions. The speed increases, that is, the shear rate increases and the viscosity decreases. This phenomenon can be explained by the concept of entanglement of polymer chains. As the shear rate increases, the number of entanglement points is reduced, resulting in a decrease in viscosity.

Temperature on will also affect viscosity of anionic polyacrylamide. Temperature is a reflection of the intensity of the random motion of molecules. The movement of molecules must overcome the intermolecular interactions, and the interactions between molecules, such as intermolecular hydrogen bonds, internal friction, diffusion, molecular chain orientation, directly affect the viscosity of the size, so the polymer solution viscosity will change with temperature. The effect of temperature change on the viscosity of the polymer solution is significant. The viscosity of the anionic polyacrylamide solution decreases with increasing temperature due to the fact that the dispersed phase particles of the polymer solution are entangled with each other to form a polymer of a network structure. When the temperature is higher, the network structure is more easily destroyed, and the viscosity will decline.

TDS Degree will affect the viscosity of anionic polyacrylamide. The cationic groups in the anionic polyacrylamide molecular chain are more than the number of anionic groups, the net charge is more, and the polarity is larger. As the H2O is the polar molecule, according to the similarity principle, the water solubility of the polymer is better and the viscosity is higher. As the TDS increases, the positive electrostatic charge is surrounded by anions to form an ionic atmosphere, which is combined with the surrounding electrostatic charge, the polarity of the polymer solution decreases and the viscosity decreases; the mineral concentration continues to increase , positive and negative ion groups form intermolecular or intermolecular hydrogen bonds (resulting in a decrease in the solubility of the polymer in water), while the addition of salt ions by blocking the positive and negative charges, breaking the positive and negative ions between the association The resulting salt bond is damaged (resulting in an increase in the solubility of the polymer in water), both of which compete with each other so that the viscosity of the polymer solution at a higher salt concentration remains low viscosity.

Sinofloc Polyacrylamide Flocculants for Water Treatment

Treatment of natural water and sewage is closely linked to preservation of the environment and is thus an actual present day problem. During the last decades there have been noticed substantial increase of the content of heavy metals, mineral oil, poorly-oxidable organic compounds, synthetic surfactants, pesticides and other pollutants from insufficiently treated effluents of industrial and municipal enterprises in open water reservoirs. In spite of the great number of elaborations reported in literature, the problem of natural  water and sewage treatment  has not yet been solved. Hence, the technology of water treatment needs further perfection which mainly includes the ways of intensive use of reagents, in particular flocculants. For these purposes water-soluble high-molecular compounds among which the most widespread and universal are polyacrylamide flocculants are used. As a result of their application the efficiency of removal of heavy metals is increased by 95%, compounds of phos

Product Selection Of Sinofloc Polyacrylamide

Sinofloc has developed a wide range of polymers , both in dry powder and liquid emulsion forms, to cover the vast majority of existing conditions within the various industries (water treatment, mining processing, oil & gas etc.). Sinofloc polyacrylamides range from cationic to non-ionic and anionic in nature, and the selection of the best product depends on several parameters. General guidelines regarding typical product selection for a given application used in a specific industrial can be found on the individual product technical data sheets, as well as in the sections regarding the industries we serve. However these are not to be taken literally. In order to select the optimum product for a specific application, it is essential that laboratory testwork followed by plant trials are carried out. Initial laboratory testwork will give an indication of the best product and approximate dosage, which will then need to be confirmed with more accuracy by running plant trials

Sinofloc Polyacrylamide Used As Oil Field Additives

Sinofloc   polyacrylamide flocculants  has good performance in thickening, flocculation, and fluid rheology modifiers, which is widely used in drilling, plugging, water acidification, fracturing, wash well, completion, drag reduction, scale and drive oil . Currently many oil fields have entered the field of secondary, tertiary recovery, reservoir depth of 1000m above generally in some reservoir depth of 7000m, heterogeneity and offshore oilfield in oil production operations to the proposed more stringent conditions, deep oil and offshore oil corresponding to PAM also raised new demands to shear resistance, high temperature (above 100 ℃ up to 200 ℃), resistance to calcium ion, magnesium ion, seawater degradation. Our products show a good performance in Enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) is often used as drilling adjusting agent, which consists of polyacrylamide hydrolysis. Its role is to regulate the rheology of the drilling fluid to carry c
