Notes
This is a strongly acidic cation exchange resin formed by copolymerising styrene with divinylbenzene and sulphonating the product.
Here the active group is sulphonic. The particle size is 20-50 mesh and the resin is supplied in the H+ form. The cross linking is 8%. It has an ion exchange capacity of 2.5meq/ml wet and 5meq/g dry.
This resin may be used in water softening and deionisation, separation of rare earths, separation of peptides and amino acids, inorganic separations, etc.
