Fast-Acting Oil Absorbent Polymer with Water Separation Function | Polyacrylic Acid Sodium

Fast-Acting Oil Absorbent Polymer with Water Separation Function
(Polyacrylic Acid Sodium | CAS No. 9003-04-7)

This high-performance oil-absorbing polymer is designed for rapid and efficient separation of oil from water. Based on sodium polyacrylate (CAS No. 9003-04-7), the product exhibits excellent affinity for organic liquids, enabling fast oil uptake while allowing clean water to remain.

The polymer forms a gel upon contact with hydrocarbons, trapping oil within its structure without emulsifying it with water. It is especially effective in scenarios where quick response and selective oil removal are critical, such as in oil spill control, industrial wastewater treatment, and oil-water separation systems.

Key Features

• Rapid oil absorption with minimal water uptake

• Effective oil-water separation without the use of surfactants

• Stable gel structure after absorption, easy to remove

• Non-toxic, non-corrosive, and environmentally friendly

• Versatile application in marine, industrial, and environmental settings

Typical Applications

• Oil spill cleanup on land or water

• Treatment of oily wastewater

• Separation of oil from bilge water, tanks, or drains

• Pre-treatment in recycling or discharge processes

This polymer offers a clean, efficient, and cost-effective solution for managing oil contamination while promoting sustainable water management.

FAQ

Q1: What is this product used for?

A: It is used to absorb and retain oil from oil-water mixtures, enabling fast and efficient separation. It is ideal for oil spill cleanup, industrial wastewater treatment, and oil recovery operations.

Q2: How does it separate oil from water?

A: The polymer selectively absorbs oil while repelling water. Upon contact with hydrocarbons, it swells into a gel, effectively trapping the oil without emulsifying it with the surrounding water.

Q3: What is the main chemical component?

A: The polymer is based on Sodium Polyacrylate, with the chemical identifier CAS No. 9003-04-7. It’s a crosslinked superabsorbent polymer designed for hydrophobic fluid uptake.

Q4: What types of oil can it absorb?

A: It can absorb a wide range of hydrocarbons, including diesel, crude oil, gasoline, engine oil, kerosene, and various light to medium industrial oils.

Q5: Is it safe and environmentally friendly?

A: Yes. The product is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and inert. It does not release harmful substances during use, and the absorbed oil can be safely contained or recovered depending on application.

Q6: What happens after the oil is absorbed?

A: The polymer forms a stable gel that holds the oil securely, making it easy to collect and dispose of or process further depending on the scenario.

Q7: Can this polymer be reused?

A: No. Once the polymer absorbs oil and forms a gel, it is not reusable. However, the gel can be disposed of or incinerated depending on local environmental regulations.

Q8: In what forms is the product available?

A: It is typically available as a fine powder or granules. Custom particle sizes can be provided based on specific application needs.

Q9: How should the product be stored?

A: Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the packaging sealed to maintain product stability.
