Photoinitiated Polymerization of Cationic Acrylamide in Aqueous Solution: Synthesis, Characterization, and Sludge Dewatering Performance

Figure 11

Contrast of dewatering efficiencies of several synthesized CPAMs and commercial PAM on filter cake moisture content at different dosages. (The mass ratio of AM to DAC of the synthesized CPAMs was 6 : 4; molecular weights of the synthesized CPAMs were 200, 400, and 600 × 104 g mol−1, respectively; the various molecular weights of the copolymers were obtained by adding various dosages of the photoinitiator; the concentration of polymer solution was 0.1%.)
