With the new macroporous anion exchange resin Lewatit Monoplus TP 109, Lanxess is expanding its range of selective resins for the efficient removal of contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water.

Ion exchange resins have proved themselves over many years and all over the world as a reliable and efficient means of removing contaminants from water. Ion exchange and adsorption processes sometimes even have a cooperative effect, shares the company. The anion exchange resin is especially suitable for the purification and remediation of water with PFAS concentrations exceeding 10 ppb. As an integral part of the firm’s range of resins, it helps the company to develop custom solutions for removing PFAS.

In addition to its high selectivity, the macroporous resin exhibits good kinetics and high fouling resistance. Furthermore, the uniform bead size ensures improved hydraulics. It can be efficiently regenerated with tried-and-tested regeneration chemicals such as methanol and sodium chloride. Especially with higher PFAS concentrations in water, this is a crucial benefit – not least because it allows the resin to be used sustainably, mentions the firm.

The macroporous anion exchange resin efficiently binds not only different PFAS but also complex anions such as nitrate, bromate, chlorate and perchlorate so that they can then be reliably removed from water. It can even remove chlorate from concentrated sodium hydroxide, opines the company.
