ION Exchange Demineralization

Deionized water also known as De-mineralization water is water that has had its mineral ions removed. Mineral ions such as cations of sodium, calcium, iron, copper, etc and anions such as chloride, sulphate, nitrate, etc are common ions present in water. De ionization is a physical process which uses specially-manufactured ion exchange resins which provides ion exchange site for the replacement of the mineral salts in water with water forming H+ and OH- ions. Because the majority of water impurities are dissolved salts, DE-ionization produces a high purity water that is generally similar to distilled water, and this process is quick and without scale build-up.
