Ion-exchange resin beads. An ion-exchange resin or ion-exchange polymer is a resin or polymer that acts as a medium for ion exchange, that is also known as an ionex. [1] It is an insoluble matrix (or support structure) normally in the form of small (0.25–1.43 mm radius) microbeads, usually white or yellowish, fabricated from an organic polymer substrate.
Anion-exchange chromatography is a process that separates substances based on their charges using an ion-exchange resin containing positively charged groups, such as diethyl-aminoethyl groups (DEAE). [2] In solution, the resin is coated with positively charged counter-ions . Anion exchange resins will bind to negatively charged molecules ...
Ion-exchange resin beads Ion-exchange column used for protein purification. Ion exchange is a reversible interchange of one species of ion present in an insoluble solid with another of like charge present in a solution surrounding the solid. Ion exchange is used in softening or demineralizing of water, purification of chemicals, and separation ...
DEAE-C is a weak anion exchanger. This exchange is utilized to separate proteins that have faintly differing charges. Like all anion exchangers, the resin carries a positive charge that interacts favorably with negative charges. The positive charge of DEAE cellulose is due to a protonated amine group.
Examples of functional groups of Weak ion exchange resins include diethylaminoethyl (DEAE, -C 2 H 4 N(C 2 H 5) 2), which is an anion exchanger, and carboxymethyl (CM, -CH 2-COOH), [35] which is a cation exchanger. These two types of exchangers can maintain the charge density of their columns over a pH range of 5–9.
An ion-exchange membrane is generally made of organic or inorganic polymer with charged (ionic) side groups, such as ion-exchange resins. Anion-exchange membranes contain fixed cationic groups with predominantly mobile anions; because anions are the majority species, most of the conductivity is due to anion transport.
The resin has a higher affinity for highly charged countercations, for example by Ca 2+ (calcium) in the case of water softening. Correspondingly, anion-exchange resins are typically provided in the form of chloride Cl −, which is a highly mobile counteranion. Counterions are used in phase-transfer catalysis.
Ion exchange resins, in the form of beads, are a functional component of domestic water softening units. Conventional water-softening appliances intended for household use depend on an ion-exchange resin in which "hardness ions"—mainly Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ —are exchanged for sodium ions. [7]
