•Moisture Content :

Properties of Ion Exchange Resins
•Density :
Ion exchange resins are sold on volume basis, hence density
measurement is necessary. Density difference of cation and
anion exchange resins is used for MB operations.
•Porosity :
Related to degree of cross linking, influences capacity &
selectivity. Functional groups are present throughout the
resin body. Pores provide path for exchanging & exchanged
ions. Pores can be micro or macro in size.
Properties of Ion Exchange Resins

Swelling :
–It is volume change due to change in surrounding
medium.

•Kinetics (speed of exchange reaction) :
It is influenced by cross linking, functional groups, particle size,
properties of the influent(ionic load) and temperature.
•Stability :
During service and regeneration resin is subjected to expansion
and contraction. Oxidizing agents attack the resin. There is
mechanical attrition. All these influence resin life and
economics of operation

DIFFERENT SCHEMES OF DEMINERALIZATION
3.SAC-DGT-SBA
This system produces water having total dissolved solids of not more
than 2-3 mg/lt and residual silicanot more than 0.2mg/l. The
degasser is interposed between the cation and anion exchangers to
obtain saving in NaOH consumption during regeneration and to reduce
the quantity of anion exchange resin required. This is the standard
system for most raw waters where an acceptable degree of purity is
achieved.

Fouling of Ion Exchange
Resins
It is covering of exchange sites and / or obstructing ion exchange
process.
•Major Foulants:
·Turbidity and mud
·Oil
·Iron
·Calcium
·Organics
•Many a times fouled resin cannot be completely cured.
•Fouling of resin can be treated by different methods according to
the
nature of foulants
Troubleshooting
•Ion exchange units may experience problems during
operation
•For effective troubleshooting consideration should be
given to the following areas:-
–Flow rates
–Pressure drop
–Resin
–Backwash :-Pressure drop
–Regeneration:-Concentration, Quality
–Water quality:-Ion concentration
–Design criteria:-Original design and operating condition
Troubleshooting
•Problems generally encountered
–High pressure drop
–Decrease in pressure drop
–Reduction in capacity
–Poor Quality of treated water
Trouble Shooting
Major causes in general for less OBR :
Insufficient regeneration
Increased load
Over running in previous run
Fouling
Resin loss (quantity & quality)
Malfunctioning of up-stream unit/s
Excessive rinsing
Trouble Shooting
Major causes in general for poor quality :
Mechanical problem
Chemical precipitation, silica precipitation.
Improper separation and improper mixing
(MB)
Wrong or misleading analysis hence
apparent poor quality
