Kationivahetusvaiku
Kationivahetusvaiku, also known as ion exchange resins, are synthetic or natural organic polymers that are used to exchange ions between a solid phase and a liquid phase. They are typically used in water treatment processes to remove impurities such as hardness minerals, heavy metals, and other dissolved ions. The process involves the exchange of ions in the resin with ions in the water, effectively removing the unwanted ions and replacing them with a more desirable ion, such as sodium or hydrogen.
Ion exchange resins are classified into two main types: cation exchange resins and anion exchange resins. Cation
The ion exchange process can be either in the hydrogen form (H+ form) or the sodium form
Ion exchange resins are widely used in various industries, including water treatment, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals,
