Abstract: In the HAc medium, polyacrylamide (PAM) reacts with NaClO to form hydrophobic ammonia chlorate nanoparticles, which have a strong resonance scattering (RS) peak at 480 nm. The RS intensity at 480 nm (I480 nm) increases linearly with the PAM concentration in the range of 1.6~80.0 mg/L, and the detection limit is 0.30 mg/L. The effect of coexistent substances on the determination of PAM has been studied, showing that this RS method has a good selectivity. PAM in synthesized waste water samples was detected with this method with satisfactory results.
Key words: polyacrylamide; resonance scattering spectral method; sodium hypochlorite
