Ion exchange resin is a crucial component in many water treatment processes. In that respect, Honeywell Aqua Tech offers high-quality ion exchange resin for various applications. Ion exchange resin is a solid, porous material made from organic or inorganic polymers. It contains ion-exchangeable functional groups that can attract and exchange ions present in a solution. The resin works on the principle of exchanging ions between the resin and the solution. When the resin comes into contact with a solution, it selectively absorbs unwanted ions from the solution and releases other ions in exchange.One of the primary applications of ion exchange resin is water softening. It removes calcium and magnesium ions, which cause hardness, and replaces them with sodium ions, resulting in softened water. Ion exchange resin is also commonly used for deionization processes. It removes all types of ions, including cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions), producing highly pure water.
