Summary of Practice4.1 An apparatus is described in which a specified volumeof regenerated resin sample is mixed with a corresponding newresin. The mixed
7、 bed then is operated at a controlled high flowrate on an influent of known composition, and the quality of theeffluent is measured by conductivity, and if agreed upon, otherappropriate analytical procedures.5.

8、f ion exchange resins used in mixed bedsoperating as polishing systems for solutions of low ionicstrength, typically, 17.5 MV (see 8.3).NOTE 1Pressure relief should be provided for this system to allow nomore pressure than the materials can tolerate, typically 50 psig or less.8. Reagents8.1 Purity o
9、f ReagentsReagents meeting the specifica-tions of the Committee onAnalytical Reagents of theAmericanChemical Society may not be suitable for use in this practice.All reagents used should be of the highest grade commerciallyavailable and should be tested for both anionic and cationicimpurities by ion
10、 chromatography after the feed solutions havebeen prepared.3,48.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean reagent water conformingto Specification D 1193, Type I. It shall be checked by ionchromatography at the ppb level prior to use, if ion chroma-t
11、ography will be used for analysis.8.3 Standard Cation ResinNew hydrogen-form, strongacid, cation resin is to be used; nuclear grade is preferred. Donot regenerate this resin. This resin should be stored inimpermeable containers at temperatures that do not exceed25C. Backwash the resin with water at
12、100 % expansion for atleast 15 min. The resin should be rinsed thoroughly with waterto $ 17.5 MV resistivity before being used in a kinetics test.The same cation resin may be used in the test column, as wellas the cation column. It is recommended that a specific typeand brand of resin be used consis
13、tently where results are to becompared.8.4 Standard Anion ResinUse new, hydroxide-form,strong base anion resin; nuclear grade preferred. Follow otherrequirements as given in 8.3.8.5 Test SolutionsTest solutions can be modified forspecific systems, however, the following are recommended forroutine te
14、sting. Although a target feed injection rate of 0.5mL/min is used here, the feed concentrations and meteringpump flows can be altered, so long as the test column influentconcentrations and flow rate are nominal as specified.8.5.1 Ammonia Feed Solution (3.0 g/L as NH3) Optional forUse with Ammoniated
15、 SystemsTare a beaker with about 50mL of water on an analytical balance with 0.01-g sensitivity.Add 20.9 g of concentrated ammonium hydroxide (sp. gr. 0.90)from a dropping bottle. Transfer to a 2-L volumetric flask, anddilute to volume. Mix well. When delivered at the rate of 0.5mL/min into 1 L/min
16、flow, the concentration in the influentshould be 1.5 mg NH3/L.NOTE 2Ammonium hydroxide generates irritating ammonia vapors.8.5.2 Sodium Sulfate Feed Solution (0.9 g Na2SO4/L)Drythe Na2SO4for1hat100105C, then store in a desiccator.Weigh 0.900 g of the anhydrous sodium sulfate, and dissolve itin 1 L o
17、f water. Mix well. When delivered at the rate of 0.5mL/min into 1 L/min flow, the concentration of the influentshould be 0.145 mg/L Na and 0.300 mg/L SO4.8.6 Regenerant, Sodium Hydroxide Solution (87 g/L)Add345 g NaOH to 3.5 L of water with stirring. Cool and dilute to4.0 L. This solution is caustic
18、 and liberates heat duringdissolution. This is equivalent to 8 % NaOH by weight.NOTE 3This solution is intentionally stronger than typical fieldprocesses so that maximum % regeneration is achieved.Reagent grade 50 % NaOH (763 g NaOH/L) also can beused and would require 456 mL to make 4.0 L.8.7 Regen
19、erant, Hydrochloric Acid Solution (1 + 9)Carefully pour 200 mL of hydrochloric acid (HCl, sp. gr. 1.19)into 1800 mL of water, stirring constantly. Cool to 256 5C.NOTE 4For field cation samples, sulfuric acid typically would besubstituted for HCl, since H2SO4is the usual regenerant in the field.9. Sa
20、mpling9.1 Collect the sample in accordance with Practices D 2687.It is extremely important that the resin sample properlyrepresent the entire bed being evaluated. Core sampling isrequired. A sample containing at least 300 mL of anion, orcation resin, or both, must be provided. The sample may betaken
21、 before or after separation of a mixed bed, so long as it isrepresentative. Use a plastic or glass container with a water-tight cap and label in accordance with Practices D 2687.9.2 Subsamples taken in the laboratory also must be takenby careful coring to preserve the representativeness of thesample
22、.10. Backwash and Separation Procedure10.1 Place about 800 mL of mixed bed resin sample orabout 500 mL of individual resin sample in the backwash/separation apparatus. Backwash with water at a flow sufficientto give about 50 % bed expansion. This should allow crud torinse away while separating any c
23、ation from the anion in thesample.10.2 Using a siphon or aspiration assembly, remove andcollect the resin of interest, anion resin (above the interface) orcation resin. Try to minimize cross-contamination by leavingbehind or wasting resin as needed. This, however, must beminimized in order to avoid
24、sample bias. Inspection of theinterface with a hand lens may show a bead size variation at theinterface. If less than 300 mL of the resin of interest isrecovered, repeat 10.1 with another portion of sample.10.3 Remove a small amount of the separated resin to aplastic petri dish and examine under low
25、 power (1215X)magnification to estimate the percentage of whole beads. If theresin is less than about 90 % whole beads, this practice shouldnot be continued.NOTE 5Ion exchange kinetics are affected by particle size and shape.3Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications, AmericanChemi

28、ss water, measure, by coring, 300mL of the separated resin in a graduated cylinder under water.Tap gently to settle before measuring resin. Disconnect theregeneration column, and transfer the resin as a slurry to thecolumn. Keep a small amount of water above the resin and tryto minimize air bubbles.
29、 Leave the bottom effluent line shut offwhile filling the column. Open it and immediately begin theflow of regenerant. Regenerate the resin as follows. For anion,use NaOH regenerant solution at a flow rate of 25 mL/min for60 min, maintaining a temperature of 50C either by jacketingthe column or warm
30、ing the regenerant. For cation resin, use theHCl regenerant with the same conditions, except that ambienttemperatures are used.10.5 Make sure that the water level is no more than about 5mm above the top of the resin before beginning the rinse step.Rinse the regenerated resin with water at 25 mL/min
31、for 15min, then increase flow to about 100 mL/min, and rinse untilthe effluent conductivity is 20 S/cm or less. Rinsing shouldtake no more than a total of 1 h.10.6 Transfer the regenerated resin from the column to abeaker. Transfer, by coring, a 75-mL portion to a graduatedcylinder, containing 1015
32、mL of water. Cover to protect fromCO2until resin is to be used. If mass transfer coefficient is tobe calculated according to Appendix X1, use the rest of theregenerated resin sample, at least 200 mL, to measure theparticle size distribution as directed in Test Methods D 2187,Test Method D. No other
33、pretreatment is required prior tosieving. Measurement of particle size distribution is recom-mended for all samples to verify the representativeness ofsamples and comparability of results; however, be cautious inusing this measurement to compare to specifications for sizesince some resin may be lost
34、 in this procedure.11. Preparation of Column and Rinse Down11.1 Transfer, by coring, 150 mL of the hydrogen-formcation resin either new or regenerated sample in a graduatedcylinder under water. Tap the graduated cylinder gently whenmeasuring the resin volume to get an accurate reading. Transferthe c
35、ation and the 75 mL of new or regenerated sample anionresin to a 400-mL beaker, and decant excess water, then mixwell with a glass rod.11.2 Disconnect the test column (see Fig. 1), decant excesswater from the resin, and transfer the mixed resin as a slurry tothe rinsed, drained test column. Keep onl
36、y a very small amountof water above the resin, so the resins do not stratify, and try tominimize air pockets. Leave the bottom effluent line shut offwhile filling the column, except that a small amount of liquidcan be drained off while liquid is being added. A small amountof demineralized water can
37、be used to rinse resin off the sidesof the column, but keep only about 5 mm of free liquid abovethe resin to keep resins from separating out. If mass transfercoefficient will be calculated, measure the inside diameter ofthe test column with a micrometer, divide this by two, andconvert to meters.11.3
38、 An alternative is to drain the test column as above, buttransfer the mixed resin in 25-mL portions, about one table-spoon, to a long-stemmed plastic funnel inserted in the top ofthe test column. Again, a minimum amount of rinse water canbe used to facilitate the transfer.NOTE 6If the resin is poorl
39、y mixed or contains air pockets, test resultswill be erroneous. If resin stratification or air bubbles can be seen in thecolumn, remove the resin to the beaker, and repeat the mixing and transfersteps.11.4 Fill the cation column to a depth of at least 15 cm withthe new hydrogen-form cation resin (8.
40、4), then reconnect it inthe test apparatus. This column is not used if the sample testedis cation resin.11.5 Before connecting to the test apparatus, turn on thewater supply system and allow it to recirculate or flush to drainuntil the conductivity indicator reads 0.06 S/cm or less.Adjustthe valves
41、to allow flow to the test column, and connect theinfluent and effluent lines to the column.12. Column Test ProcedureNOTE 7Normally this test is conducted at laboratory temperatures,but other temperatures can be used if they can be maintained uniformlyduring the test. In either case, record the tempe
42、rature at which the test isconducted, and for comparative purposes, data must be generated attemperatures within a 10C range.12.1 Turn on the water source and adjust the flow ratethrough the column with the resin in place until it measures 1L/min on the discharge side.12.2 Turn on the recorder and c
43、ontinue the water flow untila stable reading is obtained. This should require a minimum of15 min but usually less than 1 hour. It may be useful to recordthe rinse down time for comparison purposes. Although areading of less than 0.06 S/cm is expected, an occasional testsample will not attain this. R
44、epeat the entire procedure care-fully, but if the conductivity is still too high, try to determinethe cause of the poor rinse down before proceeding. It may behelpful to check for the presence of other ions. If mass transfercoefficient is to be calculated, measure the test column resinbed depth.12.3
45、 If analysis other than conductance is to be made, openthe effluent sample tap and take a sample of the water, as abackground blank, with care to minimize its contamination.Sample containers should be suitable for high purity water.Close the effluent sample tap.12.4 If the optional ammonia solution
46、is to be used, turn onthe feed pump calibrated to feed the ammonia feed solutionreagent at the chosen flow rate. Continue to feed this reagentuntil the reading on the conductivity recorder restabilizes. A12-h run time is recommended.Asample(s) may be taken at theinfluent sample tap if desired to ver
47、ify the ammonia concen-tration.12.5 Turn on the sodium sulfate feed pump for the sodiumsulfate solution and continue running as in 12.4, taking samplesat the influent and effluent sample taps for analysis if required.Again, the conductivity should stabilize within a12-h.12.6 Verify that the test col
48、umn effluent and cation conduc-tivities are being recorded, or record manually.12.7 Shutdown of the feed pumps in reverse order until thesample is again running on water alone. Record the conduc-tance. Shut down the system.D 6302 98 (2004)413. Reporting13.1 Tabulate the data from the test, including
49、 run time, testtemperature, flow velocity, influent concentrations, conductivi-ties, and analysis of specific ions if performed. It is recom-mended that bed depth and particle size data also be noted.13.2 Where data is available, graph the present data incomparison with the data obtained from new resins or previoussamples tested in the same protocol.14. Precision and Bias14.1 Precision and bias are not given since this is a practice,and data will be compared over time on actual systems.15.
