DESCRIPTION |
Anion exchange resins are insoluble polymer beads containing positively charged functional groups that attract and exchange negatively charged anions from a solution. They are typically classified as Strong Base Anion (SBA) or Weak Base Anion (WBA) resins, depending on the type of functional group and its dissociation characteristics.
Water Demineralization: Used in conjunction with cation resins in mixed-bed or two-bed systems to remove anions (Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, HCO₃⁻, NO₃⁻, SiO₃²⁻) and produce high-purity deionized water.
Nitrate and Arsenic Removal: Specific SBA resins are employed for targeted removal of nitrate and arsenic from drinking water to meet regulatory standards.
Organic Acid Removal & Decolorization: WBA resins are effective in removing organic acids and color bodies from sugar syrups, pharmaceuticals, and chemical process streams.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical Purification: Used to separate, concentrate, and purify anions, organic acids, antibiotics, and other biomolecules in process industries.
Catalysis: SBA resins in the hydroxide (OH⁻) form can act as a base catalyst in various organic synthesis reactions.
Note: These are general guidelines. Specific parameters must be confirmed with the manufacturer's data sheet for the particular resin.
1. Operating Conditions
Service Flow Rate: 5 - 40 m/h (depending on application and required quality).
pH Range: SBA: 0 - 14; WBA: 0 - 9 (effective operating range).
Max. Operating Temperature: SBA (OH⁻ form): 60°C; SBA (Cl⁻ form): 100°C; WBA: 100°C.
2. Regeneration
Regenerants: SBA: NaOH (2-4%); WBA: NaOH (2-4%), Na₂CO₃, or NH₄OH.
Regenerant Dosage: SBA: 80 - 160 g NaOH/L resin; WBA: 60 - 120 g NaOH/L resin.
Regeneration Flow Rate: 2 - 5 m/h.
Contact Time: 30 - 90 minutes.
3. Rinsing
Rinse Flow Rate: Slow rinse at regen flow rate, then fast rinse at service flow rate.
Rinse Volume: For SBA, typically 2 - 4 Bed Volumes for fast rinse, or until effluent pH/conductivity stabilizes. For WBA, rinse until effluent is neutral.
4. Physical & Chemical Properties
Total Capacity: SBA: ≥3.8 eq/kg (Cl⁻ form); WBA: ≥4.5 eq/kg.
Moisture Content: SBA: 50-65%; WBA: 50-70%.
Ionic Form as Shipped: SBA: Cl⁻ or OH⁻; WBA: Free base.
5. Important Considerations
Fouling: SBA resins are highly susceptible to irreversible fouling by natural organic matter (NOM). Pre-treatment is often essential.
Silica Fouling: Silica can precipitate on SBA resins during regeneration with NaOH if temperature and concentration are not properly controlled.
Chemical Stability: SBA Type I resins have the highest thermal and chemical stability, while WBA resins cannot remove weak acids like CO₂ and SiO₂.
ADVANTAGES |

High Selectivity: Can be formulated for high selectivity towards specific anions like nitrate, sulfate, or arsenic, enabling targeted removal.
High Exchange Capacity: Offers substantial ion exchange capacity, ensuring long service runs and efficient utilization of the resin bed.
Regenerability: Both SBA and WBA resins can be efficiently regenerated (with NaOH, NaCl, or Na₂CO₃ solutions), allowing for repeated use and lower operating costs.
Versatility: Available in various types (SBA Type I/II, WBA) and physical forms (gel, macroporous) to suit a wide range of application needs and solution conditions.
Stable Performance: Provides consistent and reliable ion removal performance when operated within specified parameters.
