This revised volume covers the practical applications of ion exchange and the synthesis of organic ion exchange resins, which span 60 years of development. It covers the development of ion exchange materials and their utilization in industrial processes. Key applications in such areas as water purification, hydrometallurgy and chromatography are described and supported by chapters on the related scientific fundamentals governing equilibria and kinetics. 22 experiments are detailed, which not only compliment a chapter dedicated to the characterization of organic exchangers, but also serve to illustrate several pure and applied principles related to ion exchange phenomena.
