Ion Exchange Systems for Removal of Metals and Inorganics
Description Ion Exchange is a process in which ions of a species are displaced from an insoluble exchange material (ion exchange resin) by ions of a different species in water. The removal of target ions is achieved through commercially available ion exchange resins that exchange target anions for chlorine (Cl-) or hydroxide ion (-OH), and…
