Flocculating Agents Cas Number 9003-05-8 Polymer Pam For Mining Tailings Management

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is extensively used in the mining industry for various applications, primarily due to its flocculation and coagulation properties. It helps improve the efficiency of water treatment processes, manage tailings, and reduce environmental impact. Here's how PAM is typically used in mining:

Key Applications of Polyacrylamide in Mining:

1. Tailings Management:

   • Flocculation of Fine Particles: In mining operations, especially during ore processing, fine particles (tailings) are generated. PAM is used to flocculate these particles, promoting their aggregation into larger flocs that can easily settle out of suspension.
   • Thickening and Dewatering: PAM helps in thickening the tailings slurry, reducing the water content and enabling more efficient dewatering. This process reduces the volume of tailings, making storage and handling more manageable.

2. Wastewater Treatment:

   • Clarification: Mining operations produce large volumes of wastewater containing suspended solids, heavy metals, and other contaminants. PAM is used to clarify this water by flocculating suspended solids, which then settle out or can be filtered more easily.
   • Heavy Metal Removal: In conjunction with other treatment chemicals, PAM can enhance the removal of heavy metals from mining wastewater, helping to meet environmental discharge standards.

3. Improved Settling Rates:

   • Accelerated Settling: By increasing the size of flocs, PAM accelerates the settling rates of suspended solids in sedimentation tanks, leading to faster and more efficient solid-liquid separation.
   • Reduction of Turbidity: PAM helps reduce turbidity in water used during mining operations, which can improve the quality of process water and reduce the need for freshwater.

4. Dust Control:

   • Surface Stabilization: PAM can be applied to mine tailings and stockpiles to stabilize surfaces and reduce dust generation. This helps in minimizing air pollution and maintaining a safer working environment.

5. Coal Washing:

   • Solid-Liquid Separation: In coal washing, PAM is used to separate fine coal particles from wastewater, enhancing the recovery of coal and improving the quality of discharged water.

6. Enhanced Oil Recovery:

   • Polymer Flooding: In mining operations involving oil extraction, PAM can be used in enhanced oil recovery techniques, such as polymer flooding. It increases the viscosity of the injected water, improving oil displacement and recovery efficiency.

Product Description:

Blufloc Anionic Polyacrylamide is a solid powder water-soluble polymer with varying molecular weight and charge density. It is one of the most widely used chemicals for water treatment purposes, featuring special properties like thickening solution and flocculation of small particles.

This synthetic chemical is highly customizable and can be tailored to fit various applications, such as water purification, oil processing, mining, papermaking, and dewatering of sludge. It helps to remove impurities from the water and improve its quality, allowing it to be reused for other purposes.

The advantages of using Blufloc Anionic Polyacrylamide in water treatment are numerous. It is highly efficient, easy to apply, and doesn't leave any hazardous residue. Furthermore, the versatile chemical is cost-effective and can be easily obtained from most chemical manufacturers.

Features:

This type of coagulant proves to be economical to use as it requires lower dosage levels. It is easily soluble in water and quickly dissolves as it is noncorrosive and effective even with lower amounts. This thereby eliminates the need for alum and further ferric salts as primary coagulants resulting in a reduction of the sludge in the dewatering process system.

Technical Parameters:
