Application of Ion Exchange Resin in Industrial Water Treatment
Ion exchange resin is a kind of polymer material with high efficient ion exchange capacity, which is widely used in the field of industrial water treatment. Its main function is to remove ionic pollutants in water through ion exchange reaction to achieve the purpose of water purification. The following will introduce the various applications of ion exchange resin in industrial water treatment.
I. Basic principle of ion exchange resin
Ion exchange resin consists of polymer matrix and functional ion exchange groups. According to the different functional groups, ion exchange resin can be divided into cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin:
Cation Exchange Resin: Containing acidic groups (such as sulfonic acid group and carboxyl group), it is mainly used for exchanging cations in water, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, ammonium and so on.
Anion exchange resin: containing alkaline groups (such as quaternary ammonium group, amine group), mainly used for the exchange of anions in water, such as chloride, sulfate, nitrate and so on.
2. The main application areas
(1). Water softening treatment
In industrial water, hardness ions (such as calcium, magnesium) will lead to scaling, affecting the operating efficiency of equipment. Cation exchange resin can reduce the hardness of water by replacing calcium and magnesium ions in water, thus preventing scaling problem.
(2). Remove heavy metal ions
Industrial wastewater often contains lead, cadmium, mercury, copper and other heavy metal ions, which are harmful to the environment and human health. Through anion exchange resin or composite ion exchange resin, heavy metal ions in wastewater can be effectively removed to meet the emission standards.
(3). Desalination and demineralization
Desalination is often required in industrial processes that require high purity water, such as electronics, pharmaceutical and power industries. A combination of cation and anion exchange resins are used for complete demineralization (removal of all ions) to produce high purity water.
(4). Removal of specific contaminants
Nitrate removal: In the food processing and chemical industries, wastewater often contains high concentrations of nitrates, anion exchange resins can efficiently remove nitrates and prevent them from polluting the environment.
Fluoride removal: some industrial wastewater contains fluoride, through the anion exchange resin treatment, can effectively reduce the concentration of fluoride.
(5). Organic matter and color removal
Certain modified ion exchange resins have the ability to adsorb organic matter and chromaticity, which is suitable for the wastewater treatment of textile and paper-making industries to improve water quality.
(6). Reverse osmosis pretreatment
In the reverse osmosis (RO) system, ion exchange resins are often used in pretreatment to remove ions and organics in water, prevent the RO membrane from being contaminated, and improve the operating efficiency of the system and the service life of the membrane.
