Abstract: Acid-activated palygorskite(PGS) reacted with ethanolamine hydrochloride(EACl),and the modified palygorskite(PGS-EACl) was obtained. The polymerization of acrylamide was initiated by heterogeneous redox initiator system, composed of reductive agent PGS-EACl together with oxidant Ce4+,and the palygorskite/polyacrylamide(PGS/PAM) hybrid was obtained. The product was characterized by 1H NMR,FTIR,viscosimetry and specific conductivity method,and the result showed an abnormal viscosity and conductivity behavior in water. It can be interpreted in terms of ion bond structure(PGSΘ⊕ NH3R) in PGS/PAM hybrid. The influence of dosage of PGS-EACl, polymerization time,and monomer concentration on the [ η ] of the PGS/PAM hybrid was investigated,and it is found that the [ η ] of the hybrid increases with increasing polymerization time differing from conventional free-radical polymerization. Flocculating effect of PGS/PAM hybrid was better than that of pure PAM for both mass fraction 0.25% kaolin suspension and mass fraction 0.5% hematite suspension,respectively.
