DuPont AMBERLITE IRA 900 Cl Ion Exchange Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary functional group and ionic form of AMBERLITE IRA 900 Cl resin?

A: AMBERLITE IRA 900 Cl is a strongly basic anion exchange resin in the chloride (Cl⁻) form, featuring quaternary ammonium functional groups attached to a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer matrix.


Q2: Can this resin be used for nitrate removal from drinking water?

A: Yes, AMBERLITE IRA 900 Cl is commonly selected for selective nitrate removal in potable water treatment due to its high affinity for multivalent anions and favorable selectivity sequence under typical municipal water conditions.


Q3: How does the resin perform in the presence of sulfate or bicarbonate ions?

A: Sulfate exhibits higher selectivity than nitrate or chloride on this resin, which may reduce nitrate capacity in high-sulfate feedwaters; bicarbonate competes moderately and is typically managed through system design, such as staged or split-bed configurations.


Q4: Is AMBERLITE IRA 900 Cl suitable for pharmaceutical or food-grade applications?

A: The resin is manufactured and tested to meet industry expectations for use in purification processes supporting pharmaceutical intermediates and food-contact water systems; users must validate compliance with applicable regulatory requirements for their specific application and jurisdiction.
