✦ Synopsis

Ion exchange in a stirred reactor is considered in terms of the influence of the non-linearity of the equilibrium isotherm on the outlet concentration. This study is supported by experimental results for the Cl--OH-exchange accompanied by neutralization.

An iteration method is presented for calculation of the state of the column in the cyclic mode. For this, the column is simulated by a "tanks-in-series model" and two concepts are considered : (1) width of the mass transfer and (2) saturation factor and regeneration factor.
