[Ultraviolet-initiated synthesis and characterization of anionic polyacrylamide].

APAM was prepared under the action of composite initiator and UV irradiation, using acryl amide (AM), 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) and acrylic acid (AA) as raw materials. The paper studied the effect of proportion between monomers, monomer ratio, initiator concentration and other factors on intrinsic viscosity of the polymer, and optimized preparation conditions. The chemical structure and thermal stability of APAM were characterized by UV, FTIR, SEM and DTA-TGA respectively.

[Determination of cationic degree in PDA with near infrared reflectance spectroscopy].

Cationic degree has been investigated as an important factor in polyacrylamide materials. Diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and acrylamide (PDA) was grafted by free radical polymerisation of acrylamide monomer (AM) onto the cationic monomer dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (DMDAAC). In the present study, near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used as a rapid and accurate method to determine the cationic degree in the PDA.

[Preparation and structural analysis of diatomite-supported SPFS flocculant].

In the presetn study, polymerized ferric sulphate (PFS) flocculant was prepared and tested. In the preparation of PFS flocculant, industrial by-product ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4.7H2O) was reused as the main material.
