1、Designation: D 3087 91 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forOperating Performance of Anion-Exchange Materials forStrong Acid Removal1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3087; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case
2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the oper-ating capacity of anion-exchange mate
3、rials when used for theremoval of hydrochloric and sulfuric acid from water. It isdesigned to simulate operating conditions for strong acidremoval and is intended for use in testing both new and usedmaterials.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The inch-pound units g
4、iven in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulat

Summary of Test Method4.1 The test method consists of repeated cycles of back-wash, base regenerat
7、ion, rinse, and exhaustion of the sample inthe form of a bed in a transparent column. The exhaustionmedium used is an ion-exchange test water.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method can be used for evaluating performanceof commercially available anion-exchange materials regardlessof the basic st
8、rength of the ion exchange groups. Whenprevious operating history is known, a good interpretation ofresin fouling or malfunction can be obtained by comparisonagainst a reference sample of unused ion-exchange materialevaluated in the same way.5.2 While resistivity has been chosen as the preferredanal
9、ytical method for defining the exhaustion end point, withtitration as the alternative, it is understood that observation ofpH during rinse and the service run can yield useful informa-tion. The variations in pH observed with an ion exchangematerial suspected of having degraded, can be helpful ininte
10、rpretation of performance when compared with similar datafor a reference sample of unused material exhausted in thesame way.6. Apparatus6.1 Test Assembly (see Fig. 1), consisting of the following:6.1.1 Column, transparent, vertically supported, 25.4 62.5-mm (1.0 6 0.1-in.) inside diameter and approx

The solution should be freshly prepared to avoidabsorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air.7.5.2 For Weak, Intermediate, and Strong Base Ion-

22、.9. Procedure9.1 Adjust temperature of the water and all solutions to beused in this procedure to 25 6 5C and maintain thistemperature throughout the test.9.2 Fill the column approximately half full of water and addsufficient sample to give a bed height of 750 6 75 mm (30 63 in.) above the top of th
23、e support. To avoid drying out of theion-exchange material, maintain a layer of liquid at least 20 to30 mm (0.8 to 1.2 in.) deep above the top of the bed at all timesduring the procedure.9.3 Backwash with water for 10 min using a flow rate thatwill maintain a 50 % expansion of the bed. If the supern
24、atantliquid is clear at this point, proceed to 9.4. If the supernatantliquid is cloudy (indicating the presence of light, insoluble,extraneous material), adjust the backwash outlet tube to aheight above the bed equal to 75 % of the bed height. Continuebackwashing at the same rate until the effluent
25、is clear.9.4 Allow the bed to settle and then drain at a rate ofapproximately 100 mL/min until the water level is 20 to 30 mm(0.8 to 1.2 in.) above the top of the bed. Record the volume, inmillilitres, of ion-exchange material for use in the followingpretreatment. Regenerate the sample with the appr
26、opriatedilute sodium hydroxide solution (see Note 2) for 90 min at aflow rate of 0.11 mL/min for each millilitre of ion exchanger inthe column. This corresponds to a regeneration level of 400 g/L(25 lb/ft3) of ion exchange material.9.5 When only a 20 to 30-mm (0.8 to 1.2-in.) layer of liquidremains
27、above the bed, rinse with water using the same flowrate, until a volume equal to the volume of resin has beendisplaced (one bed volume). Increase the rinse rate to approxi-mately 100 mL/min and continue the rinse until a total of tenbed volumes liquid have been used.9.6 Backwash with water for 10 mi
28、n using a flow rate thatwill maintain a 50 % expansion of the bed. Allow the bed tosettle and then drain at rate of approximately 100 mL/min untilthe water is 20 to 30 mm (0.8 to 1.2 in.) above the top of thebed (Cautionsee Note 1). Record the volume in millilitres,of ion-exchange material. Repeat t

32、.6. Maintain a head ofliquid not less than 50 mm (2 in.) above the top of the bedduring the exhaustion. During the run, test the effluent periodi-cally by one of the methods given in Table 1. Continue the rununtil the designated end point is reached, and record thevolume of test water used.9.8 Repea
33、t the backwash and drain in accordance with 9.6,omitting the determination of bed volume.9.9 Regenerate the sample with the appropriate NaOHsolution (see Note 2), maintaining a flow rate through the bedof 0.054 mL/min/mL of ion-exchange material based on thesample volume determined in 9.6. Continue
34、the flow for 30min, leaving a 20 to 30-mm (0.8 to 1.2-in.) layer of liquidabove the bed. This corresponds to a regeneration level of 64.1g/L (4 lb/ft3) of ion-exchange material.NOTE 2Alternative regenerant solutions, ammonia and soda ash, maybe used in place of caustic for evaluation of weak base io
35、n-exchangematerial; however, the operating capacity results based on these regener-ants may be different than the operating capacity results based on causticregeneration.9.10 Rinse the bed with anion-exchange test water C (seeNote 3) at the same rate until one bed volume of liquid hasbeen displaced,
36、 then increase the rate to 0.33 mL/min/mL ofion-exchange material as measured in 9.6. The liquid levelabove the top of the bed should be maintained at 50 mm (2 in.).During the rinse, determine the effluent resistivity at least every15 min, until the resistivity is greater than 20 000 V-cm andrecord
37、the volume of rinse water.NOTE 3Test water C is used for the rinse step to simulate the use ofcation bed effluent for anion bed rinse which is typical in many industrialdemineralizer systems. Alternative rinse solutions, such as water, may beused in the evaluation of other types of systems; however,
38、 the operatingcapacity results based on these rinse solutions may be different than thoseusing test water C as required in 9.10.9.11 Exhaust the ion-exchange material by maintaining theflow of test water until the effluent resistivity is less than20 000 V-cm. Record the total volume of test water.9.
39、12 Repeat the cycle, beginning with the backwash (see9.8) followed by the regeneration (see 9.9). Continue with therinse (see 9.10) and end with the service run (see 9.11). Repeatuntil each of three successive runs agrees within 6 5 % of theaverage capacity as calculated in accordance with Section 1
