Study Notes
Ion Exchange
- Ion-exchange is based on the reversible interchange of ions between a solution and an ion-exchange material.
Ion Chromatography
- Ion chromatography relies on the ability of an ion-exchange material to separate ions based on their affinity for the material.
Anion Exchangers
- Anion exchangers contain quaternary ammonium groups.
Cation Exchangers
- Exhaustion in the context of cation exchangers refers to the point at which the exchanger is fully saturated with ions and can no longer exchange them.
- Polystyrene resins for ion exchange are made by sulfonating polystyrene beads.
- Polystyrene resins for ion exchange are made of polystyrene cross-linked with divinylbenzene.
Classification of Ion Exchangers
- Ion exchangers can be commonly classified as strongly or weakly acidic or basic.
Weak Base Ion Exchangers
- Weak base ion exchangers can contain tertiary amine or quaternary ammonium chemical groups.
Strong Acid Cation Exchangers
- Strong acid cation exchangers contain sulfonate groups, which remain ionized even in strongly acidic solutions.
