Abstract

Functional monomer [N-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)acrylamide] was synthesized and characterized by MS and NMR. A series of high molecular weight cationic polyacrylamides were prepared with N-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)acrylamide, acrylamide and methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride by copolymerization using complex initiation systems as catalysts in aqueous solution. Then they used as flocculants to treat the paper-making wastewater. The removal of the colour and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the treated waste water samples were determined. Results showed that flocculants could efficiently remove the color and the COD. The overall color and COD removal efficiencies reached as high as 80% and 85%, respectively.

Kurzfassung

Das funktionelle Monomer N-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)acrylamid wurde synthetisiert und mittels MS und NMR charakterisiert. Eine Reihe hoch molekularer kationischer Polyacylamide wurde hergestellt, indem N-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)acrylamid, Acrylamid und Methacryloxyethyltrimethylammoniumchlorid einer Copolymerisation unterworfen wurden. Die Copolymerisation wurde durch Zugabe eines komplexen wässrigen Katalysatorsystems gestartet. Die erhaltenen Polyacylamide wurden als Flockungsmittel zur Behandlung von Abwasser aus der Papierherstellung eingesetzt. Die Entfärbung und chemische Sauerstoffbedarf (CSB) der behandelten Abwasserproben wurden bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Flockungsmittel sehr effizient bei der Färbung und beim COD sind. Die totale Entfärbung betrug 80% und der CSB-Wert erreichte 85%.
