This document discusses ion exchange theory for portable mixed bed ion exchange systems. Ion exchange involves the reversible interchange of ions between a solid resin and liquid phase. Cations like calcium and magnesium are exchanged for sodium ions on the cation resin. The calcium-loaded resin can then be regenerated by treating it with sodium chloride solution. Anion resins then exchange hydroxide ions for chloride ions to complete the demineralization process and remove dissolved ionic impurities from the water.

ION EXCHANGE THEORY
(PORTABLE MIXED BED)
• Ion Exchange may be defined as the reversible interchange of ions between a solid and a liquid phase in which there is no permanent change in the structure of the solid. • The solid is the ion exchange material • 2R Na+ + Ca2+ R2Ca2+ + 2Na+
- The exchange R in the sodium ion form is able
to exchange for calcium and thus remove calcium from hard water and replace it with and equivalent quantity of sodium. • Subsequently, the calcium-loaded resin may be treated with sodium chloride solution, bringing it back to the sodium form, ready for another cycle of operation. • This conversion step is commonly called regeneration. • The reaction is reversed, the ion exchange is not permanently changed. • Demineralization is the process of removing dissolved ionic impurities from water. • These positively charged cations and negatively charged anions allow conductance of electricity and are called electrolytes • Ion exchange demineralization is basically a two-step process involving treatment with both cation and anion exchange resins. In most demineralization systems, the water is first passed through the cation exchanger. Here Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na+ are exchanged for H+.
• R-H+ + Na+ R-Na+ + H+
• Cation resins exhibit a much greater selectivity for divalent calcium and magnesium ions than for monovalent sodium ions • The demineralization process is completed by anion resin treatment, with the feed being the acids of the anions in the raw water feed. • The choice of the anion exchange resin(s) is most critical to the water quality achievable and economics of the system. • R+OH- + Cl- R+Cl- + OH-
