Resin Capacity Comparisons

Comparing the capacities of different types of resin.

Notes:

- Total capacities are not usually performed for strong cation resins but should be the same.

- Salt splitting capacities are not usually performed for a weak cation resin, but should be less than l0% of the total capacity. Sodium form capacities are 1/2 to 2/3 of hydrogen form capacities due to the volume change.

- New strong anion base resins should have salt splitting capacities that are the same as their total capacities.

- New weak base anion resins with styrenic orepoxy matrix generally have salt splitting capacitiesequal to 5-10% of their total capacities.
