A resin that holds and swaps only cations. Cation resins contain hydrogen ions (H+) to remove positively-charged, dissolved ionic contaminants such as calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium. 4, record 1, English, - cation%2Dexchange%20resin
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Other important applications of ion exchange are water softening and the demineralization of water. ... In the second [application], all ionic impurities contained in water are removed by exchange for hydrogen and hydroxyl ions during passage of the water successively through cation- and anion-exchange resins in the acid and base form. 5, record 1, English, - cation%2Dexchange%20resin

Les échangeurs d'ions [...] [utilisés] dans l'adoucissement des eaux [...] sont maintenant constitués par des résines synthétiques. Ces résines échangeuses de cations et d'anions sont des composés organiques, de structure macro-ionique [...] C'est ainsi qu'une eau naturelle contenant des impuretés ioniques [...] échange, en passant sur ces résines, les ions qu'elle renferme contre des ions H- ou OH- lesquels se combinent en donnant de l'eau; celle-ci se trouve donc purifiée (désionisée). 4, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9sine%20%C3%A9changeuse%20de%20cations
