Continuous Ion Exchange Technology

Continuous ion exchange technology, as a completely revolutionary separation process technology, is different from traditional fixed-bed, simulated moving-bed and other separation processes. It is developed based on the traditional fixed-bed process and combined with the advantages of continuous counter-current system technology. It can be used to separate, purify and recover effective components in industrial liquid materials or remove impurities.

Compared with traditional processes, continuous ion exchange technology integrates multiple processes into one system, simplifies the operation process, enhances repeatability, not only ensures the purity and concentration stability of the product, but also significantly reduces the consumption of fillers, chemical reagents and production water supply, and reduces wastewater discharge, with significant advantages in efficiency improvement and cost saving.
