Description

Poly(acrylic acid) solution is a polymer that is used in water treatment. It has been shown to be effective in removing sulfate and carbonates from water. Poly(acrylic acid) solution has a molecular weight of about 10,000 Daltons and a number average molecular weight of about 4,000 Daltons. This solution is supersaturated with poly(acrylic acid) but it does not form crystals because it crystallizes at high temperature and pressure. The polymers are adsorbed onto the surface of the particles in the water and then can form crystals when the polymers are forced to nucleate by lowering the temperature or increasing the force applied to them.
