Best Answer

Ion exchange resin is used in separation, purifying and decontamination processes. The resin is an insoluble matrix. They are usually made of cross-linked polystyrene molecules.

Which catalyst is used in any esterification?

An acid catalyst is used can be in many forms such as sulfuric acid or ion-exchange resin.


How does an ion exchanger work?

Ion exchange column consists of a bed of ion exchange resin through which hard water is passed through and tis resin exchange ions and it engages the Ca and Mg ions.Sodium zeolite +Calcium sulphate gives Calcium zeolite and sodium sulphate


Is ion-exchange resin a precipitating water softener?

No. Ion-exchange resin is used in the water treatment tank of a standard water softener. This type of water softener works by replacing water hardness ions, Calcium and Magnesium Ions, with either Sodium or Potasium ions. The hardness ions are not precipitated, but instead are electrostatically attracted to surface of the resin beads where they replace less tightly bound Sodium or Potassium ions. These Sodium or Potasium ions enter the water stream and leave the water softener in the softened water. In a standard water softener, also known as an ion-exchange softener, no precipitation takes place in the water softening process. (Precipitation is the formation of solids from a solution.)

What is difference between ion exchange and adsorption?

Ion exchange itself is an adsorption reaction too. The question is probably about the difference between ion exchange and specific sorption. In ion exchange, an ion sorbs to the surface by removing an other ion of the same valence or multiple ions of lower valence. In this way, ion exchange never changes the surface charge. Specific sorption describes the inner sphere complexing of an ion to the surface without the need for other ions to be removed. In this way, specific sorption is able to alter the surface charge.

What ion exchange resin is cheaper and mostly used for anion determination?

your question is too vauge for a proper response. ion exchange resins are designed for a specific purpose....to take out minerals, acids, color, etc..... also the charge of the media being anion or cation and the form.. cloride or hydroxide play a major part in picking a product for use...specify what you wish to accomplish with the resin. there are hundreds of resins.


What is cation exchange resin used for?

Cation-exchange resin has a variety of uses in automotive manufacturing and construction; it contains negatively charged radicals that attracts and isolates cations. It is also called a cation deionization resin or water softening resin.


How do you generate a free amine from the corresponding ammonium salt using an ion exchange resin?

A process to generate a free amine from the corresponding ammonium salt using an ion exchange resin, involves the treating an anipn exchange resin containing a weak base group in a catalytically inactive salt form and a strong base group. This would comprise of ion exchange resins with aqueous solution containing ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride for sufficient time to convert the weak base to their catalytically active free amine form, while maintainin strong base groups.


Is Cholestyramine the same as Metemucil?

No, it is not. Metamucil is ground-up Psyllium fiber, whereas cholestyramine is an ion-exchange resin containing a polymer.

Can you eat the salt used in water softeners?

Likely you can. While technically it just used to regenerate an ion exchange resin, it still has to be pure enough to not add any toxins to the water. Bear in mind that ion-exchange water softeners may use either sodium chloride or potassium chloride. Neither salt is particularly toxic, but potassium chloride tastes pretty bad.
