Ion exchange is a powerful chemical technology, through a reversible chemical reaction, where dissolved ions are removed from solution and replaced with other ions of the same or similar electrical charge. Ion exchange resin facilitates ion exchange reactions. The resin itself is composed of organic polymers that forms a network of hydrocarbons, and ion exchange sites, called”functional group” throughout the matrix. The ion exchange sites attract ions of an opposing charge, which give the ion exchange resin its separation capabilities.
Ion exchange resins are widely used in different separation, purification, and decontamination process. The most common examples are water softening and water purification. Besides, it could be used in metal separation, sugar manufacturing, bio-pharmaceuticals, juice purification and so on.
