The amount of polyacrylamide (PAM) needed for one ton of water depends on various factors such as water quality, treatment objectives, the type and concentration of PAM, among others. Typically, the dosage of PAM is calculated in milligrams (mg) or grams (g) per liter (L) of water, rather than in tons.
For applications like wastewater treatment or sedimentation and clarification, the typical dosage of PAM can range from 1 milligram per liter (mg/L) to 100 mg/L, and the specific dosage depends on the nature of the wastewater, turbidity, pH, and the desired sedimentation effect.
If you want to calculate the amount of PAM needed based on the volume of one ton of water, you would first need to determine the desired dosage concentration and then convert it to grams or milligrams. For example, if you want to achieve a PAM concentration of 10 mg/L in one ton of water, the calculation would be as follows:
Convert the volume of one ton of water to liters (1 ton = 1000 liters).
The target concentration is 10 mg/L.
Calculate the total PAM dosage needed: 1000 liters x 10 mg/L = 10,000 milligrams.
If you need to convert milligrams to grams, divide 10,000 milligrams by 1000, which equals 10 grams.
So, in this scenario, you would need to add 10 grams of polyacrylamide to one ton of water to achieve the desired concentration of 10 mg/L. Please note that the specific dosage may vary based on actual conditions and treatment objectives.
