Purolite A 500 Plus Ion Exchange Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary functional group and matrix type of Purolite A 500 Plus?

A: Purolite A 500 Plus is a macroporous, strongly basic anion exchange resin with quaternary ammonium functional groups (Type I) grafted onto a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer matrix. Its macroporous structure provides enhanced kinetic performance and stability in challenging feed streams.


Q2: How does A 500 Plus differ from standard gel-type strong base anion resins?

A: Unlike conventional gel-type resins, A 500 Plus features a macroporous morphology that delivers superior resistance to organic fouling, better performance in low-ionic-strength or high-silica waters, and improved regeneration efficiency—especially in applications involving nitrate, sulfate, or chromate removal.


Q3: Is Purolite A 500 Plus suitable for potable water treatment?

A: Yes, Purolite A 500 Plus is manufactured and tested to meet global regulatory requirements for drinking water applications, including NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certification for incidental contact. It is commonly used for nitrate and perchlorate reduction in municipal and point-of-use systems.


Q4: What are typical regeneration conditions for this resin?

A: Regeneration is typically performed using sodium chloride (NaCl) solution at concentrations between 8% and 10% w/w, with bed volumes and flow rates adjusted based on service cycle length and contaminant loading. Higher regenerant concentration or extended contact time may be beneficial for silica or organic fouling recovery.
