Basic Type of Ion Exchange Resin
According to "The Structure of Ion Exchange Resin " section, the functional group of the resin determines the properties and uses of the resin, so the classification of the resin and the functional groups are classified: 1. Strong acid cation exchange resin SAC-sulfate group-SO3H SAC is capable of dissociating H+ and exhibit strong acidity, could be cation exchanged at any pH, and regenerated with acid. 2. Weak acid cation exchange resin WAC- carboxyl -COOH WAC is capable of dissociating H+ and exhibit weak acidity. It can be cation exchanged in alkaline, neutral or slightly acid solutions, and generally regenerated with acid. 3. Strong base anion exchange resin SBA - quaternary ammonium-NR3OH SBA is highly alkaline due to dissociation OH- in water. It can be anion exchanged at any pH, and are typically regenerated with NaOH. 4. Weak base anion exchange resin WBA- primary amine-NH2, secondary amine-NHR, Tertiary amine-NR2 WBA can dissociate OH- in water and shows wea
