  • Polymer flocculants with improved dewatering characteristics
    Patent number: 6667374
    Abstract: A high molecular weight water soluble acrylamide based polymer having improved flocculating and dewatering properties is provided. The polymer is prepared by a process in which a small quantity of a chain branching agent is added to the polymerization reaction mixture continuously or stepwise while the monomers are polymerized. The polymer is useful in solid/liquid separations such as flocculants and coagulants in wastewater treatment applications, and as thickening agents.
    Type: Grant

  • Polymer flocculants with improved dewatering characteristics
    Patent number: 6294622
    Abstract: A high molecular weight water soluble acrylamide based polymer having improved flocculating properties is provided. The polymer is prepared by a process, in which a small quantity of a chain branching agent is added to the polymerization reaction mixture continuously or semi-continuously while the monomers are polymerized. The polymer is useful in solid/liquid separations such as flocculants and coagulants in waste water treatment applications, and as thickening agents.
