ANION-EXCHANGE RESIN [2 records]

Record 1 2002-10-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geochemistry
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

An anion-exchange agent that can exchange its anion with the anion or anions of a solution passed through it or that can absorb anions in the form of acids ...

OBS

The term anion-exchange resin is mostly used in the case of solid organic polymers.

OBS

There are two main categories of anion exchanger - the strong base exchangers and the weak base exchangers. A typical strong anion exchanger is prepared from the polymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene, followed by chloromethylation and treatment with an appropriate secondary or tertiary amine ... The weak anion exchanges contain a mixture of primary secondary and tertiary amino groups. They are produced by condensing aliphatic amines with either epichlorohydrin or ethylene dichloride ...

DEF

Échangeur dont la partie fixe se conduit comme un cation, c'est-à-dire est susceptible d'échanger un anion.

CONT

[...] échangeur d'ions, substance solide, naturelle ou synthétique, ayant les caractères d'un acide (échangeur de cations) ou d'une base (échangeur d'anions), et fixant, de ce fait, les cations ou les anions.

Record 2 1999-06-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Electrochemistry
DEF

A resin that holds and swaps only anions. Anion resins contain hydroxyl ions (OH-) to remove negatively-charged, dissolved ionic contaminants such as carbonates, bicarbonates, sulfates, nitrates and silica.

CONT

Other important applications of ion exchange are water softening and ... demineralization ... [in which] 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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie chimique
  • Électrochimie
DEF

Résine qui échange uniquement les anions.

CONT

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).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Ingenieria química
  • Electroquímica
DEF

Separa aniones de una solución intercambiándolos por iones oxhidrilo.

CONT

Para que el intercambio iónico resulte económico en el tratamiento avanzado de aguas residuales, convendrá utilizar productos regeneradores y restauradores que eliminen tanto los aniones inorgánicos como el material orgánico de la resina agotada. Los restauradores físicos y químicos, cuya aplicación en la separación de materias orgánicas de resina se ha realizado con éxito, son hidróxido de sodio, ácido clorhídrico, metanol y bentonita.

CONT

El efluente del intercambiador catiónico se hace pasar a continuación, sobre una resina de intercambio aniónico, donde los aniones se sustituyen por iones de hidroxilo.
