Water purity plays an important role in industries like pharmaceuticals, electronics, power plants, and laboratories. In these fields, even small traces of dissolved salts or minerals can affect product quality and system performance. One of the most effective technologies used for producing high-purity water is the Mixed Bed Ion Exchange System. At the heart of this system lies the mixed bed resin, which ensures ultra-pure and demineralized water output.
In this blog, we briefly explain how mixed bed resin works in ION Exchange system and mix bed exchanger working principle.
What is Mixed Bed Resin?
Mixed bed resin is a combination of cation exchange resin (which removes positively charged ions like calcium, magnesium, sodium) and anion exchange resin (which removes negatively charged ions like chloride, sulfate, nitrate).
This process ensures that water is free from most dissolved salts, making it extremely pure and ideal for applications like:
- Power plants
- Electronics manufacturing
- Pharmaceutical industries
- Laboratories and hospitals
How Does a Mixed Bed Resin System Work?
- Water Enters the Unit – The raw water, already pre-treated by softeners or primary ion exchangers, enters the mix bed unit.
- Ion Exchange Process – The mixed bed resin simultaneously removes both cations and anions from water.
- Highly Polished Water Output – The treated water is of very high purity, often used as final polishing after primary treatment systems like RO or DM plants.
- Regeneration Process – Over time, the resin loses its capacity. It is regenerated by separating cation and anion resins and treating them with acid and caustic solutions.
Mixed Bed ION Exchange
Mixed bed ion exchange is a special type of purification technology, which is used to remove all types of dissolved ions (cation and anion) from water. In this, both cation resin and anion resin are mixed inside the same vessel.
Mixed Bed Exchanger Working Principle
- Contains a mixture of cation and anion resins in one vessel.
- Cation resin removes positive ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺) → exchanges with H⁺ ions.
- Anion resin removes negative ions (Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻) → exchanges with OH⁻ ions.
- H⁺ and OH⁻ combine to form pure water (H₂O).
- Produces ultra-pure, demineralized water.
- Used as a final polishing unit after RO or DM plants.
- Applications: power plants, pharma, electronics, laboratories.
- Resins are regenerated separately (cation with acid, anion with alkali) and then remixed.
