Title: SuperLig Ion Exchange Resin Swelling and Buoyancy Study

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/759140· OSTI ID:759140

The objective of this study was to achieve a fundamental understanding of SuperLig resin swelling and shrinking characteristics, which lead to channeling and early breakthrough during loading cycles. The density of salt solution that causes resin floating was also determined to establish a limit for operation. Specific tests performed include (a) pH dependence, (b) ionic strength dependence and (c) buoyancy effect vs. simulant composition.
