Acrylamide is a chemical compound prepared by hydrolysis of acrylonitrile by nitrile hydratase. Acrylamide is mainly used in the industrial processes to synthesise polyacrylamides which are used as water soluble thickeners. The use of acrylamide for production of polyacrylamide accounts for about 90 % of its total use. It is found in tobacco smoke. Acrylamide is formed during cooking foods which are high in carbohydrates. ... Read more
The global acrylamide market is projected to gain strength with municipal wastewater treatment applications promoting the consumption of acrylamide. A wide scope of industrial wastewater treatment processes that employ paper, breweries, leather, pharmaceuticals, electroplating, textiles, and petrochemical necessarily use acrylamide. Acrylamide also plays the role of a solid-liquid separator in municipal wastewater treatments for primarily treating sewages.
