 Ion exchange resin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ion exchange resin is an insoluble matrix (or support structure) normally in the form of small (1-2mm diameter) beads, usually white or yellowish, fabricated from an organic polymer substrate on the surface of which are sites with easily trapped and released ions in a process called ion exchange.
Ion exchange resins do not remove chlorine or organic contaminants from water - this is usually done by using an activated charcoal filter mixed in with the resin.
The salt is used to recharge an ion exchange resin which itself is used to soften the water so that limescale deposits are not left on the cooking and eating utensils being washed.

 Ion exchange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ion exchange is a process in which ions are exchanged between a solution and an ion exchanger, an insoluble solid or gel.
Typical ion exchangers are ion exchange resins, zeolite, montmorillonite, clay, and humus.
Ion exchange is a reversible process and the ion exchanger can be regenerated or loaded by washing with an excess of the ions to be exchanged.

 Ion Exchange
As concentrations increase, ion exchange becomes impractical due to the increasing frequency of regenerations and the declining difference between the concentration of the regenerant which is a constant (typically 5-10 grams/liter) and the concentration of the stream being treated.
Ion exchange is a chemical reaction wherein an ion from solution is exchanged for a similarly charged ion attached to an immobile solid particle (i.e., ion exchange resin).
The basic ion exchange column consists of a resin bed which is retained in the column with inlet and outlet screens, and service and regeneration flow distributors.

 Properties of Ion Exchange Resins
An ion exchange resin that is highly crosslinked is quite resistant to the diffusion of various ions through it and hence, the time required to reach equilibrium is much longer.
The second is called internal diffusion and is the movement of ions from the surface to the interior of an ion exchange particle.
Ion exchange reactions are reversible reactions with equilibrium conditions being different for different ions.

 Ion Exchange
When water to be treated passes through the ion exchange unit, ions in the water are attracted by either a positive or a negative charge to the ions in the resin bed.
Since the ions from within the water are usually attracted more strongly to the resins than they were held in the water, they are in effect removed from the water in the exchange process.
The most common example of an Ion exchange unit is a water softener, which are primarily used to remove calcium, magnesium and low quantities of barium, cadmium, copper, iron, manganese, radium, zinc, and other metallic, positively-charged ions.

 Water Purification, Hardness Correction, Ion Exchange, The Pump House Educational Series
The ion exchange process in a water softener is an exchange of positively charged cations in which calcium and magnesium are exchanged for sodium.
The direction of the exchange depends upon the affinities of the ion exchanger for the ions present and the concentrations of the ions in the solution.
When the resin is installed in the resin tank and hard water containing calcium and magnesium ions passes down through the deep column of resin beads (the resin bed), the sodium ions are exchanged for the magnesium and calcium ions.

Since different substances have different affinities for the ion exchanger, separation occurs due to differences in the charge of these particular substances.
The separation part of ion exchange chromatography is obtained by reversible adsorption usually in two main stages.

 Background on Ion Exchange Chromatography
Ion exchange chromatography depends on the ionic character of a protein/enzyme and since this property of an enzyme will change with the pH, it also depends on the pH of buffer used to dissolve the enzyme.
There are two basic types of ion exchangers: those for binding positively charged ions or cations, which display on their surface negatively charged groups; and those for binding negatively charged ions or anions, which display on their surface positively charged groups.
The ion exchanger is composed of the solid support material, which for enzymes and proteins must be a "hydrogel" or polymer composed for easily hydrated groups like cellulose consisting of polymers of sugar molecules.
