The early cation exchangers were naturally occurring zeolites but these have been almost completely superseded by the synthetic organic ion exchangers.

In the former the main functional groups are carboxylic acid groups and in the latter they are sulphonic acid groups. 4, record 1, English, - cation%20exchanger
