Resin Capacity Comparisons
Comparing the capacities of different types of resin.
Notes:
- Total capacities are not usually performed for strong cation resins but should be the same.
- Salt splitting capacities are not usually performed for a weak cation resin, but should be less than l0% of the total capacity. Sodium form capacities are 1/2 to 2/3 of hydrogen form capacities due to the volume change.
- New strong anion base resins should have salt splitting capacities that are the same as their total capacities.
- New weak base anion resins with styrenic orepoxy matrix generally have salt splitting capacitiesequal to 5-10% of their total capacities.
