A tensammetric study of polyacrylamides, including their determination

Phase-sensitive tensammetry is shown to be a convenient and useful way to analyse polyacrylamides and associated derivatives (pams) in dilute aqueous solutions. Standard curves were obtained with ranges varying from 9 to 25 ppm and limits of detection varying from 0.7 to 2 ppm. Ways to change the ra...

Description
Summary:Phase-sensitive tensammetry is shown to be a convenient and useful way to analyse polyacrylamides and associated derivatives (pams) in dilute aqueous solutions. Standard curves were obtained with ranges varying from 9 to 25 ppm and limits of detection varying from 0.7 to 2 ppm. Ways to change the range and sensitivity are discussed and demonstrated. Typical interferences and their effects are tabulated, and the analysis of pams in coal washings is discussed. The analysis of certain mixtures of polyacrylamides is shown to be possible.
