Polyacrylamide emulsions from powders
(OP)
Hi guys,
Can anybody point me to a generic synthesis of a polyacrylamide emulsion? Ultimately, I want to see if it is possible to get to an emulsion via a dry polyacrylamide powder. thanks.

Unfortunately, my student days are far behind me. I am a water treamtent account manager who has aspirations of starting my own business with a focus on dewatering polymers for industrial and municipal wastewater applications. I am trying to determine how feasible it would be to produce PAM emulsions versus buying and reselling them. I have the access to a blending facility so the more I can do on my own versus having it done by someone else, the more competitive I can be.
I would like to know if there is a practical way to produce emulsions from dry polyacrylamides. If not, then what is the method for producing PAM emulsions? Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks,
John

Powder is made by drying emulsion and will always be a cost premium over emulsion. You might find cheaper sources from China.
