Record 3 2003-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

The exchange capacity of a resin is the total number of equivalents of replaceable hydrogen per unit volume per unit weight of resin, and is determined by the number and strength of fixed ionic groups on the resin. The ion exchange capacity affects solute retention, and exchangers of high capacity are most often used for separating complex mixtures, where increased retention improves resolution.
