BACKGROUND
The ion exchange process removes unwanted ions
from raw water by transferring them to a solid material,
called an lon Exchanger, which accepts them
while giving back an equivalent number of desirable
species stored on the lon Exchanger skeleton. The
Ion Exchanger has a limited capacity, called its
exchange capacity, for storage of ions on its skeleton.
Because of this, the lon Exchanger eventually
becomes saturated with unwanted ions. It is then
washed with a strong regenerating solution containing
the desirable species of ions. These replace the
accumulated undesirable ions, returning the
exchange material to a usable condition. This operation
is a cyclic chemical process, and the complete
cycle usually includes backwash, regeneration, rinsing,
and service.
