Abstract:
A mass spectrometric study of the aging effects in polystyrene-based ion-exchangers has been made. Fragments in the m/e range 10-70 were examined and attributed to OH(+), H(2)O(+), CO(+), CO(+)(2), supplemented by SO(+) and SO(+)(2) from sulphonic-acid cation-exchangers. Ion-current intensities were found to be dependent on the state of the resin.

Ion Exchange
Ion exchange chromatography separates charged molecules from a solution by reversibly exchanging them with mobile, or 'active', ions associated with the oppositely charged stationary phase. This method can be used to separate ions, soften and deionize water, and purify solutions. The polymers comprising the ion-exchange column are high-molecular-weight and chemically stable polymers, crosslinked to be porous and essentially insoluble. They are also functionalized with either acidic or basic...
Ion-Exchange Chromatography
Ion-exchange chromatography, or IEC, is a technique for separating ions based on their affinity for the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a cross-linked polymer resin with covalently attached ionic functional groups. The functional groups can be either positively charged (cation exchangers) or negatively charged (anion exchangers). A cation exchanger consists of a polymeric anion and active cations, while an anion exchanger is a polymeric cation with active anions. The choice of...
