Abstract
Inverse microemulsions having a Standard Viscosity of at least about 3.3 cps are disclosed which comprise an aqueous phase of dispersed micelles containing water and an (alk)acrylamide-based polymer substituted with at least 1 mole percent of quaternized tertiary aminomethyl groups, wherein said microemulsion is derived from a microemulsion containing greater than about 20 percent, by weight, and less than about 40 percent, by weight, of aqueous phase polymer solids, based on said microemulsion. A method of making said microemulsions and use thereof to dewater dispersions of suspended solids are also taught.
