Q1: What is the primary functional group and ionic form of LEWATIT S 7968?
A: LEWATIT S 7968 is a strongly basic anion exchange resin with quaternary ammonium functional groups, supplied in the chloride (Cl⁻) ionic form. It is designed for efficient removal of anionic impurities, including silicates, nitrates, and trace organic acids, from aqueous process streams.
Q2: Is LEWATIT S 7968 suitable for pharmaceutical or food-grade water polishing applications?
A: Yes — LEWATIT S 7968 is manufactured under strict quality control and is commonly used in high-purity water systems for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food & beverage industries. Its high chemical stability, low extractables profile, and consistent performance make it appropriate for critical polishing stages, subject to end-user validation and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
Q3: How does LEWATIT S 7968 compare to conventional Type I and Type II strong base anion resins in terms of selectivity and regeneration efficiency?
A: LEWATIT S 7968 features a macroporous polystyrene matrix with optimized functional group density and pore structure, offering enhanced selectivity for weakly ionized species (e.g., silica, borate) and improved resistance to organic fouling. Its regeneration efficiency with sodium hydroxide is generally higher than gel-type resins under low-flow or variable-load conditions, supporting longer service cycles and more stable effluent quality.
Q4: What are the recommended storage conditions for this resin?
A: Store LEWATIT S 7968 in its original sealed packaging at temperatures between 5 °C and 40 °C. Avoid freezing and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity. Once unpacked, keep the resin moist using deionized water or the manufacturer-recommended storage solution to prevent physical degradation or fines generation.
