Ion Exchange Pilot

This pilot enables understanding of water softening, demineralization, and decationization operations by ion fixation on ion exchange resins. Educational Objectives: Depending on water analysis, flow rate to treat, and desired quality, students can choose: the resin to use, the type and quantity of regenerant, the flow rate and type of operation (co-current/counter-current). Resin capacity as a function of regeneration can be measured and material balances established. Learn about Ion Exchange Pilot India for optimal educational outcomes..

Composition:

• Two transparent acrylic columns, 26 mm diameter, 0. 11L (dismountable to change resins)
