Ion exchange is a powerful technology to soften and demineralise water to extremely good quality. This technology is well proven, as it developed initially in the 1950s, and today, it is still the best to produce ultra-pure water, i.e. to remove all traces of contaminants.
In addition to water treatment, ion exchange is also used in a variety of industrial and domestic applications: it can for instance:
- Remove colour from cane sugar syrups to make white sugar
- Purify antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals
- Extract uranium from ores
- Separate metals
- Remove harmful substances from solutions
- Be used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations
- Catalyse reactions to make anti-clumping agents for petrol
