Enhancement of dewatering properties of Kaolin suspension by using Cationic Polyacrylamide (PAM-C) Flocculant and Surfactants

This paper reports the results on enhancement of dewaterability of sludge using kaolin synthetic sludge as model material by addition of cationic polyacylamide (PAM-C) in the presence of surfactants which are anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and non-ionic Triton X-100. In this study, kaolin...
