| Abstract | ||||
| This research paper explores the production of acrylamide-based homo-polymers and copolymers via inverse emulsion polymerization with varying monomer compositions. It emphasizes enhancing flocculation and coagulation efficiency through partially crosslinking monomers, particularly ureido methacrylate (UMA). The prepared polymers and copolymers were characterized using FT-IR, SEM, and EDX spectroscopic tools. The results of flocculation efficiency demonstrated a significant improvement in flocculation when using acrylic acid as a co-monomer (96.67%) and the UMA monomer (98.62%) as compared with 97.89% related to Magnafloc® LT27AG as a commercial flocculant. Moreover, this study offers new eco-friendly based polymers, and easily recoverable potential materials aligning with sustainable development goals. | ||||
