...-modified samples: wet mixing and dry mixing. 12 07 2023 10 04 2024 The wet mixing method adhered to the HYPER clay procedure introduced by Di Emidio (2010) , wherein the NaCMC polymer was dissolved in water and left overnight for complete dissolution. On the following day, the polymeric...

... polymer formed from acrylamide subunits. The anionic polymerization is accomplished through substituting NH₂^– (amidogen) by OH^– (hydroxide) (Seybold 1994). PAM is often employed to increase the viscosity of water or to encourage flocculation of clay particles present...

..., is mixed with a polymeric solution containing Na-CMC then dehydrated in an oven at 105°C. Dehydration at temperatures higher than 60°C have been proven to enhance the irreversible adsorption of the polymer on the clay surface (Ruehrwein and Ward 1952). Stutzmann and Siffert (1977) stated...
