ABSTRACT

Ion exchange is a process of stoichiometrically reversible chemical reaction to

exchange the ions in solution with the ions in solid phase. Ion exchange resin is an organic
synthetic solid compound that is not soluble and has the ability to exchange ions. The
experiment of ion exchange has purposes to study theoretical and fundamental of ion
exchange, the regeneration of resin, water demineralization, conventional and instrumental
chemical analytic method, column height, flow rate and solids type.
The experiment use the KOH resin as ion exchange resin and hard water consist of
MgSO4 and CaSO4 (1 : 3) with the total concentration of the hard water is 4000 ppm,
which will be softened. The experiment used a 25 BV flow rate with variation of column
height, 7 cm and 10 cm. The determination of ions exchanged in the column can be done
by EDTA titration. The EDTA concentration used is 0.15 M.
This ion exchanged experiment consist of 5 steps; start-up, service, backwash,
regeneration, and rinsing. Start-up is the process used to determine the flow rate. Service is
the process where the ions in solution (hard water) is exchanged with the ions in the resins.
During the service process used the fixed bed column which means the ion exchange resins
do not fluidized. Backwash is the process to prepare the resins before regeneration. During
the backwash process, the ion exchange resins are fluidized. Regeneration is the process to
restore the resin capacity. Rinsing is the process to wash the residual ions after
regeneration.
In this experiment, practicants did two types variation column height. From the
calculation of the first run (column height 7 cm) got the total operation resin capacity at
37,263 g/L, service efficiency at 70.44%, in the backwash step got % fluidization at
28.57% and % expansion at 7.1429% and regeneration efficiency at 6,0585% (graphical
method) and 3,888.10-5 % (calculation method). Whereas, from the calculation of the
second run ( column height 10 cm ) got the total operation resin capacity at 23.6754 g/L,
service efficiency at 50.9905%, in the backwash step got % fluidization at 40% and %
expansion at 5% and regeneration efficiency at 10.8188% (graphical method) and
0.44203% (calculation method).

DISCUSSION

Ion exchange is a reversible chemical reaction where an ion (an atom or molecule
that has lost or gained an electron and thus acquired an electrical charge) from solution is
exchanged with a similarly charged ion attached to an immobile solid particle. These solid
ion exchange particles are either naturally occurring inorganic zeolites or synthetically
produced organic resins.
Ion exchange often uses resin to change this ion charge. It is known as ion
exchange resin. Ion exchange resin is a polymerized hydrocarbon compound which is in
the form of small beads, insoluble in water or other organic solvent, and usually has white
or yellowish colour. It contains cross-linking bond, and functional groups which make it
enables to ions on the water exchange with ion exchange resins’ charge. In industry, ion
exchange resins are widely used in separation, purification, deionization, and
demineralization processes.
Ion exchange resin has several characteristics, such as:
• Selectivity
Selectivity showed activity on certain ion. The main factor of selectivity is ion
charge and radius. Selectivity will determine the separation capability of an ion in
solution which same ion charge.
• Porosity
Describe varies pores size of capillary canal in resin. These pores are the area of
water absorbed. Porosity can influence ion capacity and selectivity.
• Resin stability
Physical and chemical stability involve resistance and strength friction, resistance
of osmotic effect in service and regeneration.
• Crosslinking degree
This degree describes quantitative size of total crosslinking inside polymer.
Crosslinking degree has range from 4% to 16% and influences solubility, exchange
capacity, selectivity, chemical resistance and oxidation.
Based on its functional groups, ion exchange resin can be distinguished into:
a. Cation Exchange Resin
Cation exchange resin is a high molecular weight, cross-linked polymer containing
sulfonic, phenolic, carboxylic, etc, groups as an integral part of the resin and an
equivalent number of cations. This kind of resins can exchange all kinds of cation
in a solution, therefore, it has low selectivity.
b. Anion Exchange Resin
Anion exchange resin is a polymer containing amine groups an integral parts of
polymer lattice and an equivalent number of anions, such as chloride, hydroxyl, or
sulphate ions.
Resins can be classified as strong or weak acid cation exchanger and strong or
weak base anion exchangers. The kinds and different for each the type of resin, such as:

The fundamental requirements of a useful resin are:

1. The resin must be sufficiently cross linked to have only a negligible solubility
2. The resin must be sufficiently hydrophilic to permit diffusion of ions through the
structure at a finite and usable rate
3. The resin must contain a sufficient number of accessible ionic exchange groups and
it must be chemically stable
4. The swollen resin must be denser than water
One application of ion exchange is in softening water process. Hard water is water
that contains of calcium and magnesium salts. Its hardness is totally determined by the
content of calcium and magnesium salt which is combined with bicarbonates, sulfates, and
chlorides. Hard water can be divided into two categories:
1) Temporary Hardness (containing carbonates): the hardness can be removed by
heating the hard water.
2) Permanent Hardness (containing sulfates and chlorides)
• Calcium sulfate (CaSO4): it will precipitate and form scale in boilers when
concentrated.
 • Calcium chloride (CaCl2) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2): it reacts in boiler water
to produce a low pH as follows: CaCl2 + 2HOH ==> Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl
• Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4)
Based on its operation, ion exchange can be classified into: fixed bed, fluidized bed,
and continuous bed.
• Fixed bed
In the fixed bed method, the inlet solution to be treated flows through the column.
The ion exchange resin is not moved during the exhaustion; therefore the resin remains
a compact (unexpanded) bed or column during the service run.
• Fluidized bed
In the fluidized bed method, the inlet solution to be treated flow upward in the
column. The ion exchange resin bed is fluidized by the upward flow. The fluidized bed
allows passage of suspended solids and result in less efficient contact. This process is
used when suspended solid in the inlet solution are not removed. For high-purity cycle
makeup treatment systems, the influent water is treated to ensure low suspended solids
and fluidized beds are not employed.
• Continuous bed
The continuous bed method is similar to the fixed bed method in that the solution to
be treated flows down and the resin bed is compacted. However, for the continuous
method, a main column and a regeneration column are required. Small slugs of
exhausted portions of the bed from the main column are removed to the regeneration
column, and simultaneously, a slug of regenerated resin is returned to the main
column. Although the resin slugs are transferred on an intermitten basis, the transfer is
frequent and of short duration, so that the column service cycle is considered
continuous.
The continuous method is applicable for water treatment. However, compared to
the fixed bed method, the continuous method is more complex, the capital cost for the
control system are higher, and the ion exchange resin is subject to greater attrition or
wear and tear because of the frequent resin transfer. The fixed bed is predominantly
selected as the preferred method of ion exchange, and the discussions that follow are
based on the fixed bed method.

START-UP

First of all, wet cotton placed at the bottom of column to prevent resin going out
from the column. Then, the column is filled with resin KOH exchange resin. There are two
variations of resin height: 7 cm and 10 cm. The resins must always be immersed in water
or a solution. When it becomes dry, the resin would not swell. It makes the pores shrink,
and causes ion exchange performance is not effective.
Then, the tank is filled with 3 liters of demineralized water which is streamed into
the column. Then, the flow rate of the solution which passes the resins is controlled on
constant flow rate. This experiment is done with flow rate 25 BV. For the 7 cm resin
height, it equals to 20.62 mL/minute, whereas for the 7 cm resin height, it equals to 29.45
mL/minute. BV is bed volume which includes particles volume, pores volume, and volume
form bulk density. The purpose of constant flow rate is to make sure that resin contact time
solution is constant during the process.
The high of the water above resin has to be constant because it will effect the
pressure which affect the flow rate and ion exchange condition.

SERVICE

Service is the main process in ion exchange. In this process, the ions in the solution
will be exchanged with the ions in the resin. In this experiment, ion exchange occurs
between Mg2+ ions and Ca2+ ions (from hard water) with Na+ ions (from resin). The
reaction is :
Mg2+ + R-Na  Na+ + R-Mg
Ca2+ + R-Na  Na+ + R-Ca
Initially. Practicants prepared 3 L hard water 4000 ppm consist of 1000 ppm
MgSO4 and 3000 ppm CaSO4. Then the demineralized water in the storage tank used
before replaced by hard water. Then the hard water was streamed from the hole in the
bottom of the tank through the hose to the hole upside the ion exchange column. The flow
rate used is the one which was determined before. The process of ion exchange occurred
when the solution passed the ion exchange resin. The first 50 mL of outcome water was
disposed because it still contained the demineralized water from start-up process before.
After that, every 25 mL outcome water was collected and 10 mL from this water was taken
to be titrated with EDTA. In this experiment, practicants did duplo for the titration.
The titration is used to determine the concentration of the outcome water. The
titrate that used in this experiment is EDTA solution with 0.15 M concentration. 10 mL
sample (outcome water) was placed in the erlenmeyer and then added with 14 drops of
NH4Cl and half spatula of EBT than it was titrated with EDTA. EDTA was chosen as the
titrate because EDTA has some superiority; EDTA always react with metal logams with
ratio 1: 1, the reaction runs perfectly, and EDTA can react with some metals fast. The
equilibrium of EDTA solution is:
H4Y ↔ H3Y- ↔ H2Y2- ↔ HY3- ↔ Y4-
Every single form of this EDTA produces or needs the ion H+ so that the pH of solution
contains of each form of EDTA will be different. NH4Cl was added in purpose to maintain
the pH balance in the solution so that the optimal condition of titration (pH 8 – 12) could
be reached. In this titration the optimal pH is 10, because in pH 10, the EDTA is in the Y4-
which is used in the reaction happened in titration between the sample solution and EDTA.
The reaction equilibrium is :
MIn- (violet) + H+ + Y4- ↔ HIn2- (blue) + MY2-
While Y describes as EDTA, and MY2- describes complex metal-EDTA.
4-

EBT was used as indicator in this experiment because :

• EBT has pH range 7-11.
• EBT in its free condition (blue) has a different colour with complex colour EBT-
metal (violet).
• EBT turns violet when forms a complex with metal ion such as calcium.
HIn2- (blue) + M2+ ↔ MIn- (violet) + H+
While MIn- describe complex metal – EBT, M2+ describe metal ions are valence 2, and
HIn2- describe EBT indicator.
This titration stopped when the colour of sample solution turn from violet in to
blue, which means all the EBT indicator had been in its free condition whereas the
complex of metal-EDTA formed. The titration procedure stopped when it got three times
constant volume of EDTA used.
Since the titration stopped, the concetration of the outcome water could be
determined with volumetric analysis, which means calculated the concentration of outcome
water from the concentration and volume of EDTA used. From the concentration counted,
the breakthrough curve could be drawn between volume of EDTA solution used for
titration process and the value of Ce/Co ( sample concentration / initial concentration). The
ideal brakthrough curve for service process can be drawn as the picture below :

Ce/Co 2

The ideal curve shown different condition for each area:

Area 1: Resin is still in good condition and its capability is still high. Resin still can
exchange almost all of the ions in the solution. Therefore the value of Ce/Co
approach 0.
Area 2: Resin begins saturated and its capability reduced. The ions which are not
exchanged yet could slip through the resin.
Area 3: Resin is saturated and its capability is very low. Resin only can exchange a little
amount of ions in the solution (almost none). Therefore the value of Ce/Co
approach 1.
In this experiment, there are two variation of column height, which influence the
service process and the amount of ion exchanged. The first variation is 7 cm column
height, it gave result of 37.263 g/L total resin capacity and 70.44% resin efficiency.
Whereas the second variation is 10 cm column height gave result of 23.6754 g/L total resin
capacity and 50.9905% resin efficiency.
Total resin capacity is the amount of ions exchanged theoretically per mass unit per
resin volume. The result of experiment gave total resin capacity for run I 37.263 g/L means
every liter of outcome water the resin can exchange 37.263 g of ions. Resin capacity with
leakage is resin capacity with leakage shows the amount of ions slip through resin. In the
first and second run the resin capacity with 5% nor 10% leakage could not be determined
because the leakage is much more higher than 10%. Resin capacity with leakage is useful
to determine the operation volume for a certain hardness limit in solution.
Service efficiency shows the resin’s capability to exchange ions from the start of
service until the resin is saturated. The higher resin efficiency, the better resin
performance. The first run (7 cm column height) gave the result of efficiency at 70.44%
that is higher than the second run’s result of efficiency at 50.9905%. This result is not
conform with the theory, where the higher column height will give the higher resin
efficiency too, because there is more ions in the resin that can be exchange with the ions in
the solution. This incompability is probably caused the resin used in the second run had
been used in the first run, so that its capability was much lower than it was before,
although it had been regenerated (regeneration does not restore all of resin capability).

BACKWASH

The purpose backwashing is remove solid and gas which is caused by hard water
that passed through resin (ion exchange process), separate crumpled resin, organized resin,
and also turned back distribution flow pass through the column. In backwash, the bottom
hole in the column is connected with under of the column carbon and the top of column
carbon is connected to valve with connector of hose. When the valve was opened, the
water will flow from the valve to the carbon column (from top to the bottom).
The outlet water from carbon column is free of Ca(ClO)2 (calcium hypochlorite).
Calcium hypochlorite will damage the resins, therefore it must have been removed before
the tap water flow into this column. The outlet water from carbon column will flow to the
bottom of resin column and fluidize the resin. During fluidization, the wet cotton at the
bottom of resin column must be suppressed so as not fluidized simultaneously. If the wet
cotton was fluidized together with the resin, after the fluidization is ended, the wet cotton
may be above the resin bed, and the resins can pass the column.
During fluidization (approximately 5 minutes), the resin will be is fluidized, the
height of the fluidized resin must be measured. Then, stop the water and wait 5 minutes
until the resin precipitated, height of resin is measured. From experiment data, is got:
RUN 1 RUN 2
h before fluidization 7 cm 10 cm
h when fluidization 9 cm 14 cm
h after fluidization 7,5 cm 10,5 cm
% fluidization 28,57%% 40 %
% expansion 7,1429% 5%
From this data, can be seen if the height of the fluidized resin in run 1 is lower than
run 2 because the water flow rate in run 2 was bigger than in run 1. But as the resin in run
2 is more saturated than in run 1, the % expansion is smaller than run 1.
 After resin precipitation, there will be three phenomenons can be occurred:
a. Bubbling
Bubbling is occurred because flow rate of the fluid is bigger than minimum
velocity. The particle and bubble will merge and build an empty space.
b. Slugging
The bubbles which have the same size with the column diameter will merge and
slugging occurs. Slugging will divide the resins bed into some layer and there is an
empty space between the layers.
c. Channeling
Channeling is caused by aggregation effect of cohesion force between the particles.
From the experiment, bubbling and slugging was occurred in both run 1 and run 2.

REGENERATION

Regeneration is the process done to restore the resin capability after the resin
saturated from used in the service process. The regeneration only can restore the resin
capability near 100% but not exactly 100%. This process must be done so that resin can be
use for service process again.
The regeneran requirements are:
• Regeneran must have the ions that can be exchange to the saturated resin.
• The reaction between regeneran and resin must be reversible, the regeneration
reaction from regeneran must be the opposite of the service reaction.
• Regeneran must be easy to made or found and is not expensive.
The regeneration procedure is similar to the service procedure, it is only the
solution streamed that is different. In regeneration, the solution streamed is the regeneran,
in this experiment used NaCl as the regeneran. The reaction equilibrium occurred in the
regeneration process:
R-Mg2+ + 2NaCl  2R-Na+ + MgCl2
R-Ca2+ + 2NaCl  2R-Na+ + CaCl2
In this experiment, NaCl used had 9000 ppm concentration. While the first 50 mL
outcome water was disposed, the 25 mL after was collected and taken 10 mL to be titrated
using EDTA. From the titration, the concentration of outcome water could be calculated
and the breakthrough curve could be made. The ideal breakthrough curve is shown in the
picture below:

2 Ce/Co

V
Area 1 : The resin is still saturated from the service process before. Its capability to
exchange the ions is still low.
Area 2 : The resin capability begin to be restored as the ions of the resin restored from the
regeneran used.
Area 3 : The resin is in nearly its initial condition, which means the regeneration
completed.
Regeneration efficiency shows how near the regeneran can restore the resin to its
initial condition. The higher regeneration efficiency the closer resin to its initial condition.
From this experiment, the regeneration efficiency got:
% efficiency regeneration RUN I RUN II
Calculation method 6.0585 % 10.8188 %
Graphical method 3,888.10-5 % 0.44203 %
This result shows that the regeneration can not restore resin to its 100% initial
condition. The result from run I is lower than the result of run II, it is because the resin in
run II had higher column height so that the ions that can be exchanged is more than in run
II which column height is lower.

RINSING

Rinsing process uses demin water for cleaning. The purpose of rinsing is remove
the residue of ions trapped in resins also to remove the residue of regenerant (NaCl). There
are 2 method of rinsing:
• Fast rinsing : to wash ions residue
• Slow rinsing : to push ion residue out from resin and throw away the cleaning
residue
First, 3L demin water pour into in the storage tank and initial pH is measured. pH
meter display the initial pH of demin water is 6,7. Afterwards, every 25 mL of outlet water
from ion exchange column is collected, and the pH of each sample is measured until three
times constant. When the pH has been constant, the pH value of non-polluter demin water
in this experiment is 4,98, it will not reach the initial pH value as the regeneration will not
restore all ion exchange capacity. This shows that residues inside the resin are decreased.
 CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION

1. The height of resin effect amount of ion which can be exchanged.

2. The higher resin efficiency, the better resin performance.
3. New resin gets lower total operation capacity and higher efficiency than
regenerated resin.
4. Regeneration process could not bring the capacity of resin as well as beginning.
