Ion EXCHANGE RESINS

Mixed bed is typically cation and anion ion exchange resin all in one mixture.

Mixed bed ion exchange resins are mainly used in the water purification industry for polishing process water to achieve demineralized water quality, usually after a reverse osmosis system.

The Mixed bed Resins are the typical resins with mixture of strong acid cation resins in H+ form and strong base anion resins in OH- form. The ratio of component resins is designed to provide high capacity depending on the application.

The two resins are mixed to be used in one column for fully purification of water, to reduce the water conductivity. The mixed bed resins are usually used in the Electrical Discharge Machining plant for water demineralization.
