Ioncserélés
Ioncserélés, known in English as ion exchange, is a chemical process that involves the exchange of ions between a solid material and a solution. This occurs through an equilibrium reaction where ions from the solid phase are replaced by ions of the same charge from the solution phase. The solid material, typically a resin or zeolite, contains mobile ions that can be released and exchanged.
The principle of ion exchange is based on the affinity of the solid material for certain ions
Common applications of ion exchange include water softening, where calcium and magnesium ions are replaced by
