Ion-Exchange TechnologyIon-Exchange Technology Ion-exchange technologies can be used to facilitate systems with processes from simple softening, organic absorption and selective deionization to drastic desalination. This technology is applied to steam boilers of low and extra-high pressure, as well as in the electronic and pharmaceuticals industries. The company has experience in desalination projects utilising the Puropack (packed bed) technology. The main principle of ion exchange is the ability of special agents (ion-exchange resins) to change the ionic composition of treated water to its required state. Ion exchange resins are insoluble macromolecular substances that enforce ion exchange reactions. In other words, ion-exchange resins can absorb positive or negative ions in the solution and change them to equivalent amounts of other ions having the same charge. According to the sign of the charge, ion-exchange resins are divided into anion exchange resins and cation exchange resins. The ability to exchange ions is determined by their structure. This method is applied to:
