Polyacrylamide (PAM) is extensively used in the mining industry due
to its flocculant, coagulant, and thickener properties. Here are
some of the primary applications of polyacrylamide in mining:
Mineral Processing: Polyacrylamide is used in the beneficiation process of various
minerals, including coal, gold, copper, and iron. As a flocculant,
it helps aggregate fine particles, making them easier to separate
from the slurry. This improves the efficiency of the sedimentation,
clarification, and filtration processes.
Tailings Management: In mining operations, large volumes of waste material, known as
tailings, are generated. Polyacrylamide is used to treat tailings
to enhance the dewatering process. It helps in the solid-liquid
separation by aggregating fine particles, accelerating the
settling, and improving the clarity of the supernatant water. This
treated water can then be recycled, reducing the environmental
impact and the need for fresh water.
Sludge Dewatering: During the treatment of mine wastewater, polyacrylamide is used to
dewater the sludge. It acts as a flocculant, helping to consolidate
the sludge into thicker, more manageable masses, which can be more
easily removed and disposed of. This process reduces the volume of
waste and facilitates more efficient waste management.
Dust Control: In mining operations, dust generation can be a significant
problem, impacting worker health and the environment.
Polyacrylamide solutions can be sprayed on roadways, stockpiles,
and other areas to bind dust particles together, thus reducing
airborne dust and improving air quality.
Water Treatment: Mining activities often produce contaminated water that requires
treatment before discharge or reuse. Polyacrylamide is used in
various stages of water treatment to remove suspended solids and
other contaminants. Its flocculating properties help aggregate fine
particles, making them easier to remove through sedimentation or
filtration.
Heap Leaching: In the process of heap leaching, which is used to extract precious
metals like gold and silver from ore, polyacrylamide is used to
improve the percolation of the leaching solution through the ore
heap. This enhances the efficiency of the metal extraction process
by ensuring a more uniform distribution of the leaching solution.
Soil Stabilization: Polyacrylamide is also used for soil stabilization in mining
areas. It helps prevent soil erosion and improve the stability of
embankments and tailings dams. Binding soil particles together
reduces the risk of landslides and sediment runoff.
Product Description:
Blufloc Anionic Polyacrylamide is most often used in industrial wastewater
treatments.
Blufloc Anionic Polyacrylamide is a solid, powder-like,
water-soluble polymer with varying molecular weight and charge
density. It is often used to increase water viscosity, producing a
thicker solution. It can also help to agglomerate tiny particles
suspended in water to promote the quick settling of solid matter.
This is a human-made chemical that can be adjusted to meet
different requests—most of the time, it is used in industrial
wastewater treatment.
Features:
This product has many beneficial properties, making it an ideal
water treatment choice. Firstly, it is economical, requiring lower
dosage levels to be effective. Secondly, it is highly soluble in
water and dissolves rapidly. Thirdly, it is noncorrosive even at
suggested dosages yet still very economical and effective. Finally,
suppose this is used as a primary coagulant. In that case, it can
make the use of alum and ferric salts unnecessary, in addition to
reducing the sludge from the dewatering process system.

Applications:
Raw Water Treatment includes processes like flocculation,
clarification, and dewatering of lime alum sludge, and recovery of
water.
Industrial wastewater treatment includes primary clarification,
secondary and tertiary treatment, sludge thickening and dewatering,
color removal, and dissolved air floatation.
Sewage treatment involves primary treatment and sludge thickening
and dewatering.
Process industries such as the sugar and juice industry, paper
making, sugar manufacturing, chlor-alkali, thermal power, mining
and metallurgy, coal, constructions, petroleum, and gas fields
require treatment for various purposes like clarification, wet
strengthening, mud settling, brine clarification, fluid loss
control, lubrication, shale stabilization, lost circulation, etc.
