Ion Exchange
Ion exchange is an important chemical reaction. It means that in an solution， the ion exchange resin reacts with the ions in the aqueous solution, so that the ions in the aqueous solution are adsorbed by the resin, and the ions on the resin are released into the aqueous solution. The principle of this reaction is based on the charge properties of ions and the adsorption properties of the resin. The specific ion exchange process is relatively complex and is affected by various factors such as thermodynamics and kinetics.
Ion Exchange Resins
Ion exchange resins are solid polymer compound with a network three-dimensional structure and insoluble in acid, alkali and organic solvents. Ion exchange resin is the main media in the ion exchange process and the most important factor affecting ion exchange.
In the biotech industry, each factory has a very large production capacity. Normally he ion exchange process is the key process, not only has high operating costs, but also consumes a large amount of chemicals and generates a large amount wastewater. Therefore, it is necessary to select the most suitable resin based on the characteristics of different materials. SmarSEP targets different material characteristics in the field of industrial biotech, and combines thermodynamics, kinetics and other separation mechanisms to select resins with excellent performance in order to solve customer pain points, improve the quality of products, and reduce running costs.
