Abstract

This invention discloses a process for the polymerization of acrylamide and for the copolymerization of acrylamide with other monomers. It employs a ferrous/hydroperoxide redox initiator system that greatly enhances the molecular weight of the polymer formed. These high molecular weight acrylamide polymers offer outstanding advantages in enhanced oil recovery as injection water viscosifiers.
