Article Synopsis
  • The use of polyacrylamide (PAM) in enhancing oil recovery is hampered by the challenging removal of hydrolysed PAM (HPAM) from wastewater.* -
  • Researchers developed innovative SiO@TiO:Eu@TiO core double-shell microspheres (STT) that effectively photocatalyze the degradation of HPAM.* -
  • The study also reveals an unexpected inverse relationship between fluorescence intensity and photocatalytic activity, potentially advancing photocatalytic methods in oil extraction and pollutant degradation evaluation.*

A comb-shaped copolymer of 2-acrylamide-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS), allyl polyoxyethylene ether (APEG), -vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) and sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS) was synthesized by free-radical polymerization. The structure of the comb-shaped copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and its molecular weight was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). FTIR measurements and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) analysis were used to characterize the working mechanism of different filtrate loss reducers.
