Demineralization uses ion exchange to remove inorganic salts from water. Cation exchange resins convert dissolved salts to acids while anion exchange resins remove these acids, resulting in purified water. The demineralizer system uses cation and anion exchange resin columns that exchange hydrogen and hydroxide ions for raw water cations and anions. This ion exchange process produces fresh water while embedding the exchanged ions in the resins. The resins are later regenerated using hydrochloric or sulfuric acid for cations and sodium hydroxide for anions.
