Ion‐exchange Adsorbents as Laboratory Tools

Chromatographic Separations

“…Many of these ion exchangers, although formed in large particles or beads in order to facilitate rapid filtration, appear to be porous to the reactive ions and do not disintegrate upon repeated reaction and regeneration (17,58). Particular properties of many of these products have been reviewed by Myers (92) and by Applezweig (7). Surface-active substances such as charcoal or alumina may be converted into ion-exchange adsorbents by preliminary adsorption of acids or bases (70, 138) just as cloth is rendered more attractive to dyes by treatment with mordants.…”

Biochemical Analysis

“…Adsorption or partition on various materials in columns and on paper are the two techniques almost always utilized. Either may involve ion exchange (9), partition between a stationary and moving solvent, or surface forces alone. More commonly, two or more of these effects are present simultaneously, though a distinction is usually made between them in designating the process.…”

The Effect of a Cation Exchange Resin on Electrolyte Balance and Its Use in Edematous States

“…Ion exchangers are insoluble substances which remove ions from solution by releasing one ion in exchange for another (3)(4)(5)(6). Way, in 1850, first observed the phenomenon of ion exchange in soil (7).…”
