Product Overview
Acrylamide (CAS No. 79-06-1) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C₃H₅NO. This white, odorless, crystalline solid is highly soluble in water and ethanol. It is commercially available in high purity, typically 98% to 99.8%, with various packaging options including 25kg bags.
As a key monomer, acrylamide is primarily used to produce polyacrylamide and other copolymers. These polymers serve essential roles as chemical grouting materials, soil conditioners, flocculants, adhesives, and coatings. In water treatment processes, polyacrylamide-based flocculants are effective for wastewater purification. The paper industry utilizes it as a paper strengthening agent, while petroleum extraction operations employ it to enhance oil recovery efficiency.
Key Properties and Specifications
Acrylamide has a molecular weight of 71.08 and a density of approximately 1.322 g/cm³. Its melting point ranges between 82-86°C (180-187°F), and it has a boiling point of around 125°C (257°F) at 25 mm Hg pressure. The compound's flash point is recorded at 138°C (280°F).
This chemical requires proper storage conditions to maintain stability. It is recommended to store acrylamide in a cool, ventilated, low-temperature干燥 environment, with optimal temperature maintenance between 2-8°C. Proper storage practices involve separation from oxidizers, acids, and food chemical additives.
Applications and Uses
1. Water Treatment: Acrylamide-based flocculants are effective in clarifying water and wastewater in municipal and industrial treatment facilities. They help remove suspended solids and impurities through coagulation processes.
2. Petroleum Industry: In enhanced oil recovery operations, polyacrylamide improves displacement efficiency by modifying the viscosity of injection water, helping to increase crude oil production.
3. Paper Manufacturing: As a paper strengthening agent, acrylamide-based polymers enhance the mechanical properties of paper products, including tensile strength and durability.
4. Soil Conditioning: Agricultural applications utilize polyacrylamide to improve soil structure, reduce erosion, and enhance water retention in cultivated areas.
5. Electrophoresis: High-purity electrophoresis-grade acrylamide (99.8%) is essential for scientific research and laboratory applications, particularly in biochemical separation techniques.
Safety and Handling Considerations
Acrylamide requires careful handling due to its potential neurotoxic and carcinogenic properties. Appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing should be worn during handling. Proper ventilation systems should be in place to minimize exposure risk.
Storage facilities should maintain cool, dry conditions with adequate ventilation. The chemical must be separated from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and acids.
