    Nonionic polyacrylamide (nonionic flocculant) is a water-soluble polymer that, due to its unique properties, has a wide range of applications in various industries. Below are some major application areas of nonionic flocculants.


    Applications of Nonionic Flocculant in Industrial Wastewater Treatment

    Paper and Pulp Wastewater Treatment

    Nonionic flocculant can enhance the retention rate of fillers and pigments, reducing raw material loss and environmental pollution.


    Mining and Metal Smelting Wastewater Treatment

    Nonionic flocculant aids in the flocculation of suspended particles, accelerating the sedimentation process.


    Steel Plant and Stone Processing Wastewater Treatment

    Nonionic flocculant can be used as a flocculant to help remove suspended solids and purify water quality.


    Applications of Nonionic Flocculant in the Petroleum Industry

    Oil Recovery Operations

    Nonionic flocculant can be used to increase the crude oil recovery rate, especially in tertiary oil recovery processes.


    Drilling Mud Treatment

    Nonionic flocculant can improve mud performance, reduce water seepage, and lower friction resistance.


    Applications of Nonionic Flocculant in the Textile Industry

    Sizing Agent

    Nonionic flocculant can be used as a component of chemical slurries, enhancing adhesiveness, permeability, and desizing performance of textiles, reducing breakage rates and slurring while imparting antistatic properties.


    Applications of Nonionic Flocculant in the Paper Industry

    Enhancing Paper Strength

    Nonionic flocculant can help improve the dry and wet strength of paper.


    Reducing Raw Material Loss

    Nonionic flocculant can reduce the loss of fillers and pigments, decreasing environmental pollution.


    Applications of Nonionic Flocculant in the Food Industry

    Sugar and Beet Sugar Production

    Nonionic flocculant can be used for juice clarification and syrup extraction.


    Feed Protein Recovery

    Nonionic flocculant can be used for feed protein recovery without affecting the health and growth of chickens.


    Other Applications of Nonionic Flocculant

    Coatings and Building Materials

    Nonionic flocculant can be used as a component in synthetic resin coatings and as an additive to improve cement quality.


    Soil Improvement

    Nonionic flocculant can be used to retain soil moisture and reduce desertification.


    Electroplating Industry

    Nonionic flocculant can be used to treat wastewater in the electroplating process.


    Printing and Dyeing Industry

    Nonionic flocculant can help treat printing and dyeing wastewater, improving water quality.


    Special Applications of Nonionic Flocculant

    Chemical Grouting Agent

    Nonionic flocculant can be used as a chemical grouting agent for waterproofing and leakage prevention in underground engineering.


    Desert Control

    Nonionic flocculant solution mixed with a cross-linking agent can be sprayed on the desert surface to form a film and act as a sand-fixing agent.


    In summary, nonionic flocculant plays a crucial role in various industrial fields due to its excellent water solubility, flocculation performance, and good compatibility with other chemicals.
