Application:
Water Treatment: Used in wastewater treatment plants to flocculate solids, clarify water, and enhance filtration processes.1. Water to Powder Ratio:
- Typically, the ratio is expressed as weight/volume (w/v), indicating the weight of polymer powder (in grams) per 100 mL of water.
- For example, a 1% (w/v) PAM solution means 1 gram of PAM powder dissolved in 100 mL of water.
2. Procedure:
- Measure out the required amount of water.
- Add the calculated amount of PAM powder slowly to the water.
- Stir continuously until the powder is completely dissolved.
3. Example:
- To prepare a 0.5% (w/v) PAM solution:
- Measure 0.5 grams of PAM powder.
- Dissolve it in 100 mL of water.
4. Adjustments:
- Depending on your application, you may need to adjust the concentration up or down by varying the amount of powder relative to the volume of water.
