United States14. Significance and Use4.1 Resins used in demineralization systems may deteriorate due to man
16、y factors including chemical attack, fouling by organicand inorganic materials, mishandling, or the effects of aging. Detection of degradation or fouling may be important in determiningthe cause of poor demineralizer performance.5. Sampling5.1 Follow the recommendations of Practices D2687 for obtain
17、ing samples of particulate ion exchange materials. Core samplesare important for obtaining representative samples; however, special problems may dictate other sampling requirements, such assurface, interface, or other samples.6. Preliminary Examination6.1 Examine the sample visually or with the aid
18、of a magnifier for any abnormalities. Note any unusual color, precipitates,biological material (slime), particulate matter, or small pieces or fragments of resin. Note that the color of resin may vary fromlot to lot or with normal use and would not be considered unusual.6.2 Note any peculiar odor as
19、sociated with the sample, such as from oil, solvents, or biological activity.7. Moisture and Particle Size Distribution7.1 Follow procedures given in Test Methods D2187, Test Methods A, B, and D for determining moisture (water retentioncapacity) and particle size distribution.7.2 Compare the values
20、obtained in 7.1 to those expected for the resin when in good condition. It is preferred that new resin,treated in the same way, be used for this comparison, but manufacturers specifications can also be used.8. Mixed-Bed Resin Separation8.1 Observe resin during separation according to Test Methods D2
21、187, Test Method A. Adjust backwash rate to giveoptimiumoptimum separation, then let resin settle and observe interface and note degree of cross-mixing.9. Ash Content and Metals Analysis9.1 Follow the procedure given inTest Method E830 for determining the ash content of the pretreated and dried samp

Note that some elements may be lost during the 575C ashing, and spike recoveries must be checked.10. Detection of Organic Fouling of Anion Resins10.1 Follow procedures gi
29、ven in Test MethodsMethod D5042 for estimation of the degree of organic fouling of anion resins.10.2 For a more rapid, but less reliable evaluation of the resin, the caustic-brine extract from Test MethodsMethod D5042 maybe judged by color rather than by total organic carbon measurement: the darker
30、the color, the heavier the organic fouling. Notethat colorless foulants such as detergents or synthetic polyelectrolytes will not be detected.11. Column Performance Testing11.1 Follow procedures given in Test Methods D3375, D3087, or D1782 as needed to evaluate the performance of mixed bed,anion, or
31、 cation exchange materials, respectively.12. Kinetics Testing12.1 The evaluation of the kinetics properties of ion-exchange resins is especially important for anion resins used in high flowrate applications such as condensate polishing.12.2 Test the resins kinetics properties according to Practice D
