ioninvaihtopaikkoja
Ioninvaihtopaikkoja, or ion exchange sites, are specific locations within a material where ions can be reversibly adsorbed or exchanged. These sites are fundamental to the operation of ion exchange resins, zeolites, and certain clays. The nature of these sites determines the material's ability to selectively bind and release ions based on their charge, size, and chemical properties.
In ion exchange resins, ion exchange sites are typically charged functional groups attached to a polymer backbone.
The number and type of ion exchange sites per unit mass or volume of the material are
