Ion Exchange (IX) Resins
Dow Dowex, Amberlite, Purolite, Alamo, and Other Resins
Ion exchange (IX) is the exchange of ions between a solid substance called a resin, and an aqueous solution such as potable, boiler feed, or industrial process water, to control water purity and pH by removing undesirable ions and replacing them with acceptable ones.
Cation exchange resins exchange and remove positive ions such as calcium (Ca+2) and Magnesium (Mg+2) hardness, Fe+2, and H+1. Anion exchange resins exchange and remove negative ions such as alkalinity, Cl-1, SO4-2, and OH-1.
