ion exchange is a reversible ion exchange process between water and an insoluble ion-exchange resin having functional groups with a specific charge.

What does ion exchange mean in practice?

Ionite acts selectively and exchanges specific ions until the working capacity is exhausted, at which point it requires regeneration or replacement.

When does it matter?

Competing ions, pH and organic contaminants may reduce the capacity and durability of the filter bed relative to the catalog value.

Which solutions are related to it?

The type and form of the ion-exchange resin for a specific ion are selected, the load is calculated and the regenerant and the cycle termination point are determined.
