Industrial Exchange Mechanism
The process involves the exchange of ions between a solution and a solid material, typically a resin, to produce treated water that meets specific quality standards. Ion exchange is used in water treatment and also provides a method of separation in many non-water processes. This system relies on ion exchange resins that attract undesirable ions in the wastewater and exchange them with more desirable ions, effectively. Ion exchange is a reversible interchange of one species of ion present in an insoluble solid with another of like charge present in a solution surrounding the solid.
