Get PriceChloride and hydroxide ions are the most commonly used in these treatment systems. The most common application for anion exchange units is the removal of nitrate, arsenic, and bicarbonate. Types of Units. Once a water test indicates that an ion exchange unit is necessary, unit selection depends on how much treated water you need.

Get PriceThe University of Iowa • HYGIENIC LABORATORY Home Treatment Systems and Drinking Water Quality Anion Exchange Units Anion exchange is a demineralization process by which negatively charged ions (non-metal) are removed by passing water through an an-ionic resin bed. Strengths • removes negatively-charged inorganic ions such as nitrates
Get PriceIon exchange units may have cation (positively charged), anion (negatively charged) or mixed bed (a combination of positive and negative ions) resins. Cation exchange is often referred to as water softening. For example: In a cation exchange unit, radium in the water will replace what is usually sodium or potassium cations on the resin.
Get Price3. Anion Exchange. Anion exchange treatment is explained below under “whole house treatment systems.” Anion exchange modular cartridges are produced for small volume treatment, however, their relatively low capacity make them less likely to be chosen for point-of-use treatment. 4. Distillation
Get PriceA POE system is a small-scale water treatment unit that treats all of the water that enters the facility. POE systems for uranium removal often make use of anion exchange technology because of its comparatively lower cost. However, reverse osmosis POE systems are becoming more affordable and provide another option.
Get PriceHowever, for the nitrate-nitrogen removal process, special anion exchange resins are used that exchange chloride ions for nitrate and sulfate ions in the water as it passes through the resin. Since most anion exchange resins have a higher selectivity for sulfate than nitrate, the level of sulfate in the water is an important factor in the
Get PriceUsing ion exchange resins for industrial water purification and separation can be complex, especially for those unfamiliar with what ion exchange resins are and how they work.If you are looking for a general explanation of “what the differences are between cation and anion exchange resins,” the two most-used resins in ion exchange technology, this article simplifies the similarities and
Get PriceIon exchange units, reverse osmosis, or distillation all remove nitrate from drinking water. Note that boiling water does not remove nitrates and is not a treatment alternative. In fact, it increases nitrate concentrations as water evaporates. An ion exchange unit operates much like a household water softener. A softener filters calcium and

Cation exchange is often referred to as water softening. For example: In a cation exchange unit, radium in the water will replace what is usually sodium or potassium cations on the resin.
Get PriceThe time between recharging cycles depends on the hardness of the water, the amount of water used, the size of the unit and the capacity of the exchange media to remove hardness. Have Your Water Tested. Before buying any water treatment equipment, you should know what impurities are in the water supply.
Get PriceWith proper operation, distillation units can remove nearly 100 percent of sulfate. Anion exchange is the most common method of removing large quantities of sulfate from water for commercial, livestock, and public supplies. It is not commonly used for individual household water treatment.
