- Page 6 PRINCIPLES OF ION EXCHANGE IN THE SOFTENING PROCESS 1. ION EXCHANGE SOFTENING PROCESS In order to understand what happens in the ion exchange softening process, it will first be necessary to understand the meaning of the terms that are used in the explanation. HARD WATER, CATION EX- CHANGER, and BRINE are therefore defined below and then used to show how the ion exchange pro- cess works.
- Page 7 2.3 CAPACITY OF ION EXCHANGER The capacity for the removal of calcium and magnesium depends mainly upon the type of ion ex- changer that is used. It is further influenced by the amounts of hardness and sodium ions in the raw water, and by the amount of salt used for regeneration.
