BSR GC-100 Cation Exchange Resin
The
BSR GC-100 Cation Exchange Resin is a high-quality strong acid cation
(SAC) resin designed for a wide range of water treatment applications,
including softening, demineralization, and deionization. Manufactured with
advanced ion exchange technology, it ensures exceptional exchange capacity,
superior mechanical strength, and long service life. Built from a durable
polystyrene matrix cross-linked with divinylbenzene (DVB) and functionalized
with sulfonic acid groups, BSR GC-100 provides excellent performance in
both industrial and domestic water treatment systems.
With
its high chemical stability and uniform bead size, the resin effectively
removes hardness ions such as calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺),as well as other cations like iron (Fe²⁺) and sodium (Na⁺), by
exchanging them with hydrogen or sodium ions. The result is soft,
demineralized, or deionized water of superior quality suitable for various
applications — from industrial boilers and cooling systems to drinking water
and laboratory processes.
Overview
TheBSR GC-100 Cation Exchange Resin is premium-grade strong acid resin
developed to provide consistent ion exchange performance and long-term
operational reliability. It is designed to operate effectively over a wide
range of pH and temperature conditions, making it suitable for both softening
and deionization processes.
In
its hydrogen form (H⁺), the resin is used for deionization and mixed-bed
applications, while in its sodium form (Na⁺), it is ideal for water
softening. The resin’s robust structure resists physical degradation and
osmotic shock, ensuring durability under varying operational conditions.
Chemical Structure and Composition
The
BSR GC-100 resin is based on:
- Polymer Matrix: Polystyrene cross-linked
with divinylbenzene (DVB)
- Functional Group: Sulfonic acid (–SO₃H)
- Ionic Form: Hydrogen (H⁺) or Sodium
(Na⁺)
- Appearance: Golden amber to dark brown
spherical beads
- Moisture Retention: 45–55%
- Total Exchange Capacity: 1.8 – 2.2 eq/L (typical)
The
sulfonic acid groups attached to the polymer matrix are responsible for the
resin’s ion exchange capability. These functional groups allow for rapid and
efficient exchange between the resin and the cations present in the feed water.
Working Principle
The
working mechanism of the BSR GC-100 Cation Exchange Resin is based on ion
exchange chemistry. When water passes through the resin bed, cations
dissolved in the water are attracted to and exchanged with ions (H⁺ or Na⁺)
held by the resin’s functional sites.
For
example:
- In sodium form softening:
Ca²⁺ + 2R–Na → R₂–Ca + 2Na⁺
Mg²⁺ + 2R–Na → R₂–Mg + 2Na⁺ - In hydrogen form
deionization:
Ca²⁺ + 2R–H → R₂–Ca + 2H⁺
Na⁺ + R–H → R–Na + H⁺
In
the hydrogen cycle, the released hydrogen ions later combine with hydroxide
ions (from an anion resin) to form pure water (H₂O), achieving total
deionization.
Applications
The
BSR GC-100 Cation Exchange Resin is widely used in various water
treatment systems for both residential and industrial purposes. Some of its key
applications include:
- Water Softening:
Removes calcium and magnesium ions responsible for water hardness, preventing scale formation in plumbing, boilers, and heat exchangers. - Demineralization and
Deionization:
Used in combination with strong base anion resins to produce ultra-pure water for laboratory, pharmaceutical, and industrial processes. - Boiler Feed Water Treatment:
Ensures scale-free, mineral-free water supply to maintain efficiency and longevity of industrial boilers. - Power Plants and Refineries:
Used in condensate polishing and process water purification systems. - Food and Beverage Industry:
Ensures soft, pure water for product formulation, brewing, and cleaning processes. - Pharmaceutical and
Healthcare Applications:
Provides high-purity water for manufacturing and laboratory use. - Home and Commercial RO
Systems:
Used as a pre-treatment resin to protect reverse osmosis membranes from scaling and fouling.
