OUTLET 790-4 Hose Barb <br /> 790-5 Aluminum Nut <br /> Ion exchange resins are classified as`cati'on or anion 790-6 Tee`apRing <br /> exchan era. Both t s are roduced from the same basic 3J4-I.D.HOSE 7907 Fill Cap`O'Ring <br /> 4 types P 4 790-8 Bushing`O`Ring <br /> organic polymers. The chemical behavior of the resin is 790.10 907 Distributor <br /> determined by the particular ionizable group attached to the 79011 13/16'x.4"ABS <br /> resin. The following is a list of five resin -types that may be 9 790-12 906 Distributor <br /> used by the Facility for metals along with the important 780.13 Shipping Cap <br /> characteristics of each. 1 6 9 <br /> 6 .. 4 3/4"I.D.HOSE 13 <br /> 1. Stron Acid Cation - The important characteristics .of this 2 <br /> res n type are.: The exchange. capacity is .not affected by <br /> the pH of the solution, it is the least expensive resin, INLET SHIPPING'. <br /> it is the most durable and its selectivity is low so it CAPS <br /> may pick up hardness in the water. d <br /> 17 13 <br /> 2.

Strong Base Anion - Important characteristics are: The ?

The <br /> rinse solution flows through the canister, the metal is removed <br /> allowing the exiting water to flow to the sewer. when the .007"to.010"SLOTS <br /> exchange capacity of the canister (containing the resins) is IN DISTRIBUTORS. <br /> reached, it is replaced by a fresh one. Saturated canisters <br /> are transported to the Facility and regenerated. Regeneration <br /> is accomplished by flushing the resins with a concentrated acid <br /> or base solution, depending on the resin type, which effec- <br /> tively reverses the exchange reaction. — t <br /> PORTABLE O.I.UNIT <br /> A-3 Drawing of a typical enehange unit <br /> SCALE— DATE— DRAWING NO.— <br /> ,h.. <br />
