Application of MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK Anionic Polyacrylamide
MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK is a high-molecular-weight anionic polyacrylamide flocculant specifically developed for efficient solid–liquid separation in demanding industrial environments. As an anionic polyacrylamide, MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK works mainly through polymer bridging, where long polymer chains adsorb onto suspended particles and link them together into large, fast-settling flocs. Owing to its strong flocculation performance, shear resistance, and adaptability to different water chemistries, MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK is widely applied in mining, mineral processing, industrial wastewater treatment, sludge thickening, and water recovery systems.
One of the most important applications of MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK anionic polyacrylamide is in mining and mineral processing operations. Crushing, grinding, flotation, and washing stages generate large volumes of slurry containing ultra-fine mineral particles. These fine particles are difficult to settle naturally due to their small size and surface charge, which limits thickener efficiency and water recovery.
When MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK is dosed into mineral slurries, it rapidly aggregates fine particles into large, dense flocs. This significantly improves settling rates in thickeners and clarifiers, resulting in higher underflow solids concentration and clearer overflow water. Clear overflow can be reused as process water, reducing freshwater consumption and lowering operating costs. At the same time, improved underflow density enhances tailings transport efficiency and supports safer tailings disposal.
MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK is widely used in tailings thickening applications, including conventional, high-rate, and high-density thickeners. Effective flocculation is essential to maintain stable bed formation and consistent performance under varying feed conditions.
The strong, shear-resistant flocs formed by MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK maintain their structure even under high hydraulic stress. This ensures reliable thickening performance, improved overflow clarity, and enhanced water recovery. By maximizing water reuse and reducing water losses to tailings storage, MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK supports sustainable water management practices in mining operations.
Another key application of MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK anionic polyacrylamide is in industrial wastewater treatment. Industries such as metallurgy, steel production, power generation, chemical manufacturing, ceramics, stone processing, and construction materials generate wastewater containing suspended solids, metal hydroxides, and fine inorganic particles.
In these systems, MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK is typically used after inorganic coagulants such as ferric chloride, aluminum sulfate, polyaluminum chloride, or lime. While the coagulants destabilize colloidal particles, MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK strengthens and enlarges flocs, accelerating sedimentation and clarification. The treated effluent shows lower turbidity and improved clarity, making it suitable for discharge or reuse. Improved clarification also reduces the load on downstream filtration or membrane systems, improving overall treatment efficiency and reducing operating costs.
MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK plays an important role in sludge thickening and mechanical dewatering. Sludges generated from mining operations and industrial wastewater treatment plants often contain fine mineral solids with high water retention, making dewatering difficult.
The application of MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK improves sludge conditioning by forming large, porous flocs that release free water more easily. In gravity thickeners, it increases settling speed and underflow solids concentration. When used prior to belt filter presses, centrifuges, screw presses, or filter presses, MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK improves cake dryness and filtrate clarity. Reduced sludge volume leads to lower transportation and disposal costs, while stable dewatering performance enhances plant reliability.
In municipal water treatment, MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK is commonly applied as a coagulant aid following primary coagulation with aluminum or iron salts. Raw water often contains fine clay, silt, and colloidal particles that are difficult to remove by coagulation alone. MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK increases floc size and density, improving sedimentation efficiency and clarifier performance. Better turbidity removal also improves downstream filtration efficiency and helps maintain consistent drinking water quality.
In municipal wastewater treatment, MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK is mainly used for sludge thickening and chemically assisted clarification. Its stable performance under fluctuating flow and solids loading makes it suitable for large treatment plants requiring reliable operation.
MAGNAFLOC-355 SSK anionic polyacrylamide is also used in the pulp and paper industry for white water clarification, fiber and filler recovery, and paper mill sludge dewatering. Fine fibers, fillers, and pigments suspended in white water are efficiently flocculated, allowing valuable raw materials to be recovered and reused. Improved white water clarity supports higher internal water recycling rates and reduced effluent discharge.
