Anionic polyelectrolytes are water-soluble polymers that carry a negative charge. They can be used in many industries, including water treatment, paper and pulp, and petroleum, to help with flocculation, coagulation, and filtration processes. Anionic polyelectrolytes work by attaching to positively charged particles in a liquid, like dirt or other impurities, to form a floc or precipitate that can be easily removed by filtration or sedimentation. They can also be used as dispersants to prevent particles from agglomerating or flocculating.
