AMBERTEC™ UP6150 H/OH Ion Exchange Resin

AMBERTEC™ UP6150 H/OH Ion Exchange Resin

Below is a detailed introduction to AMBERTEC™ UP6150 H/OH Ion Exchange Resin:

Basic Information

· Resin Type: A separable uniform particle mixed-bed ion exchange resin, which is a mixture of regenerated cation and anion exchange resins.

· Copolymer: Both the cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin are copolymers of styrene-divinylbenzene.

· Matrix: Both matrices are gel-type.

· Type: The cation exchange resin is strongly acidic, and the anion exchange resin is strongly basic.

· Functional Groups: The functional group of the cation exchange resin is sulfonic acid group, and that of the anion exchange resin is quaternary ammonium group.

· Physical Form:

Cation Exchange Resin

Appearance: Dark amber, translucent, spherical particles;

Anion Exchange Resin

Appearance: White to yellow, translucent, spherical particles.

Performance Characteristics

· High-Purity Water Production Capacity: In a well-designed ultrapure water system, as a polishing mixed bed, it can achieve water quality of 18 MΩ·cm and TOC well below 5 ppb during the operating cycle.

· Uniform Particle Advantage: The components are uniform particle resins. The uniform particle characteristics enhance the kinetic performance of the mixed-bed resin during its service life, providing excellent performance throughout the cycle. It also allows for subsequent separation and regeneration of the resin in cascade systems for further use.

· Stoichiometric Balance: The resin has a 1:1 stoichiometric equivalent of cation and anion exchange capacity. The resin mixture shows no clumping, ensuring balanced exchange capacity for cations and anions during the ion exchange process, enabling proportional exchange reactions with cations and anions in water according to stoichiometric relationships.

· Operational Stability: It has a wide pH stability range (0-14) and operates well within a temperature range of 15-25°C, stably delivering high-quality ultrapure water in well-designed systems.

Application Areas

· Electronics Industry: Particularly suitable for high-purity water polishing in specialized electronic applications, such as disk drives, display devices, CD-ROMs, discrete semiconductor devices, low-density IC chips, or back-end chip dicing and packaging operations.

· Power Industry: Used for boiler feedwater treatment to remove various salts, soften hard water, and prepare high-purity feedwater to prevent scaling and corrosion in boilers; also used for condensate polishing to remove trace salts, metal ions, organic matter, and other impurities from turbine exhaust condensate, enabling its reuse.

· Pharmaceutical Industry: Used in pharmaceutical processes to prepare purified water and water for injection that meet pharmacopoeia standards, removing impurities, microorganisms, and pyrogens from water; also used for the separation and purification of certain drug components to enhance purity and quality.

· Food and Beverage Industry: Used in the production of drinking water and beverage water to remove off-flavors, discoloration, heavy metal ions, and salts, improving taste and quality; in the sugar industry, it can remove pigments and ionic impurities from sugar solutions to enhance sugar purity and quality.

· Chemical Industry: Used in the production of various chemical products for the refinement, separation, and purification of raw materials and intermediates, such as organic acids, amino acids, and alkaloids; also used for treating chemical wastewater by removing heavy metal ions, acid radicals, and organic pollutants through ion exchange.

Operating Conditions

· Temperature Range: The recommended operating temperature range is 15-25°C. Operation at high temperatures, such as above 60-70°C, may affect water quality in the loop and the service life of the resin.

· pH Range: The stable pH range is 0-14.

· Bed Height: For optimal performance, the recommended bed height is at least 900 mm (3 feet).
