ION EXCHANGE RESIN

Ion exchange is a reversible chemical reaction wherein an ion (an atom or molecule that has lost or gained an electron and thus acquired an electrical charge) from solution is exchanged for a similarly charged ion attached to an immobile solid particle. These solid ion exchange particles are either naturally occurring inorganic zeolites or synthetically produced organic resins. The synthetic organic resins are the predominant type used today because their characteristics can be tailored to specific applications.

Type of ions removed is determined by the functional group possessed by resin beads. I-Chem representative will help to select the appropriate resin based on its size, uniformity, exchange capacity, stiffness, cross linkage, functional group, type of regenerant etc.

We will conduct elution study to deduce the resin efficacy as and when necessary. In addition maintenance chemicals will be recommended if requires in order minimize build up of iron, manganese, copper, magnesium, aluminum and calcium foulants. Before doing so, resin will be sent for analysis to determine the further course of action.
