A preparation method of hydrophobic modified cationic
polyacrylamide flocculant comprises the following steps: weighing and mixing
acrylamide, acryloyloxyethyl trimethyl
ammonium chloride,
butyl acrylate, perfluorinated octyl
ethyl acrylate and a surfactant, obtaining
polymer monomer aqueous solution by adding deionized water and mixing well by stirring, and then adding a plurality of additives; adding a compound initiator for
polymerization and then adding a
photoinitiator for
polymerization; after the
polymerization reaction, taking out colloidal particles for prilling,
drying, crushing, and sifting, so that the hydrophobic modified cationic
polyacrylamide flocculant is obtained. The flocculant provided by the present invention is able to improve the adsorption capacity of polymers to
suspended particles, especially organic matters in water, by introducing lyophobic group into the
macromolecule of the flocculant. Meanwhile, the flocculant possesses the properties of hydrophobic associating
polymer, which is beneficial to the interaction between macromolecules, reducing the hydrophilic performance of the floc body, increasing the
settling velocity of the floc body, and improving intensity of the flocs and water separation capability of the
filter cake.
