Cation resins are a type of ion exchange resin that has positively charged functional groups. These resins attract and bind negatively charged ions, including minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron.
Cation resins are commonly used in water treatment to remove hardness (calcium and magnesium ions) from water. They can also be used to remove heavy metals, such as lead and copper, from water.
The most common type of cation resin is a strong acid resin, which is highly effective at removing hardness from water. Another type of cation resin is a weak acid resin, which is used for more sensitive applications, such as in the pharmaceutical industry.
Cation resins are usually made of a polymer matrix, such as polystyrene, that is functionalized with acidic groups, such as sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid groups. The resin beads are typically small and spherical, and can range in size from 0.2 to 1 millimeter.
Regeneration of cation resins is typically performed using an acid solution, which removes the bound ions and restores the resin’s ability to attract and bind additional ions. Cation resins have a long service life and can be regenerated multiple times.
