Abstract

This study examined the influence of five widely utilized flocculants—specifically, 12 million molecular weight anionic polyacrylamide, 18 million molecular weight anionic polyacrylamide, cationic polyacrylamide, non-ionic polyacrylamide, and polymerized aluminum chloride—on the properties of concrete in washed sand. The findings revealed that, with a consistent flocculant content, the 12 million molecular weight anionic polyacrylamide exhibited the most significant effect on concrete performance. Furthermore, when the flocculant type remained unchanged, an increase in flocculant content corresponded to an enhanced impact on the performance of the concrete.
