Abstract:In order to improve the flocculation performance of cationic flocculant, DBC and AM were selected as cationic hydrophobic surface active monomer and hydrophilic monomer, respectively, a new type of cationic polyacrylamide flocculation P(AM-DBC) (PAD) was prepared by aqueous solution polymerization with the complexing agent of EDTA-2Na and the composite initiator of AIBN and APS-NaHSO3. The process had advantages in simple opearation, no other templates and surfactants addition, high relative molecular weight and conversion rate. The single factor experiment results showed that the intrinsic viscosity of the product PAD was 1 018.7 mL·g?1 with the conversion rate of 97.2% when the total monomer mass fraction was 40%, the monomer molar ratio n(AM)∶n(DBC) was 7∶3, the pH of the reaction system was 4.0, and the reaction temperature was 60 ℃, and the concentration of EDTA-2Na is 0.5%. The Box-Behnken model of the response surface method was used to optimize the experimental parameters. Then the parallel experiments were carried out according to the predicted experimental parameters. The intrinsic viscosity of prepared PAD was 1 027.1 mL·g?1 with the error of 0.497% between the predicted and experimental values when the total monomer mass fraction was 42%, the concentration of EDTA-2Na was 0.56%, the pH of the reaction system was 4, and the temperature was 60 ℃, which indicated a good match and the obtained optimal preparation method of PAD. The prepared PAD has excellent performance and provides a basis for industrialized production, which can be widely used in the oily wastewater treatment. Key words:acryloxyethyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride/ acrylamide/ cationic polyacrylamide flocculant/ response surface methodology.
