Q1: What is the primary functional group and ionic form of LEWATIT S 2328?
A: LEWATIT S 2328 is a strongly acidic cation exchange resin based on a sulfonated polystyrene-divinylbenzene matrix, supplied in the sodium (Na⁺) form for general softening and selective metal ion removal applications.
Q2: Is LEWATIT S 2328 suitable for potable water treatment?
A: Yes — when regenerated and rinsed according to standard industry protocols, LEWATIT S 2328 complies with common regulatory expectations for drinking water applications, including NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certification requirements for materials in contact with potable water.
Q3: How does temperature affect the performance of this resin?
A: Performance remains stable across typical process temperatures (5–40 °C); however, prolonged exposure above 50 °C may accelerate physical degradation and reduce operational lifespan. Optimal capacity and kinetics are generally observed between 15–35 °C.
Q4: Can LEWATIT S 2328 be used for selective removal of heavy metals from industrial effluents?
A: Yes — its high crosslinking and uniform bead structure support effective uptake of divalent cations such as Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Pb²⁺, especially under controlled pH and competing ion conditions. Selectivity can be enhanced through tailored regeneration strategies.
Q5: What are key handling and storage recommendations?
A: Store in original packaging at temperatures between 5–30 °C, avoiding freezing and direct sunlight. Keep moist during handling to prevent dehydration-induced cracking; if dried, rehydrate gradually using dilute salt solutions before service use.
