Polyacrylamide and its copolymers are widely used as flocculating agents for the separation of industrial suspensions. The formation of high molecular weight polymers depends on the content of various impurities present in the monomer. The article presents the scientific and practical information on the production of acrylamide by sulfuric acid method of hydration of nitrile acrylic acid in the form of an aqueous solution of different concentrations and a more modern heterogeneously catalytic method of hydration of acrylonitrile using as catalysts with variable valence. Ways to get different impurities in the stages of production of acrylamide with the purpose of applying appropriate methods for its purification. Laboratory studies of the purification of an aqueous solution of acrylamide from iron ions were carried out as an element of inhibition of the premature polymerization process.
